I'm happy to hear you and your family are safe Guppy! And I can't wait to hear the news when and if you find out your pregnant this cycle. =)!!
I want to complain. I have no where to complain. It's supposed to be Halloween, it's supposed to be a fun exciting day! My son was supposed to have a Halloween party at school, then we were picking him up and trick or treating at the malls, then door to door tonight.
He has had a little runny nose and cough lately but he's full of energy and totally normal. He got into his classroom this morning and immediately started moping around. I talked to him and he said his tummy hurt (was saying this at school the day before, when they said they would call me he said he wanted to stay and play). So I said if you have to come home today then no trick or treating for him because sick kids don't trick or treat.
Of course I get a phone call a couple hours later asking to pick him up. I had a theory he wanted to go home and play a video game he had borrowed from his cousin. I walked in and he said "mommy! yay I get to play my game!" while putting his coat on. All I could think was "I KNEW IT!". I tried to tell his teacher he is not telling the truth. I told him no that wasn't happening, I told him he was not doing anything but laying around in his pjs, that he is missing his Halloween party at school, and will likely not go trick or treating. His attitude quickly changes to him admitting he just wanted to go play the game. A huge argument ensues. He didn't want to go home anymore. He screamed and screamed. We tried to explain to his teacher what was going on but she wouldn't have him back.
So he's at home now.. I don't know what the hell to do. Do I actually keep him home and take his brother out trick or treating?! I feel so wrong doing that, but I feel wrong rewarding his behavior as well. I feel like this is a big deal that he lied in this manner... But how do you tell your son they don't get to do something that is one night, that you have been exciting them about alllll bloody month and then say nope, go to bed.
This is such an awful position and I don't know how to handle it. I've just been crying since getting home. We've had such a hard time with our son... He makes me so exhausted and challenges me so so bad. I need help and every attempt to seek help with him as been completely shot down and summed up to a "phase"...
EFFFF SAKKKKKKES!!!!! He just came over to me as I'm typing and started freaking out again asking for the fucking game!! Sorry about the language! I feel like he has completely ruined this day. As he does with every single family event we try to do. He ruins it with his horrible attitude!! Ugghhhhhhhhhh. I want to go to bed.
/End rant.
