he's a little chunk! hope the lactulose starts working!
Im banging my head here with Joshua. This thing at karate is blowing way out of proportion, but its Joshua's lying I cant cope with. He claims he doesnt remember taking the p*ss out of this boy, and this morning he was so upset |i was inclined to believe him. But having spoke to someone who was there (and who is Joshuas closest friend at karate) he said that Joshua did remark a mean comment to this other lad. So i asked Joshua again, told him we had now spoke to the other child that was sat there, did Joshua want to rethink what happened and tell me the truth and he is sobbing again swearing a spade is a spade, he doesnt remember saying anything. Ive told him to go sit on the stairs until he does remember what happened, but now I run the risk he'll either sit there all day (and he is stubborn) or he'll admit to it, when he didnt actually do it just to get it finished with! I really dont care that he laughed at the other boy, i mean thats just kids being kids, he'll get told but end of, its lying I cant abide, and I cant tell if he is lying or not! Ive told him loads of times he isnt going to get a row, Im only going to be upset if the truth comes out and Joshua is found to be lying, Ive promised him no shouting, once the truth is out that will be it, I'll deal with the parent but he wont need to talk about it again... yet he still claims he doesnt remember laughing or saying anything (apparently he said 'oh boo whoo you got knocked out'.. he's a tyke!)
