Is foot in mouth a side effect?
Yesterday, I did it again, twice. One of my kids phones. They want sympathy and instead I make some wisecrack and burst out laughing and can't stop and by then my foot is firmly entrenched into my mouth. I know if they talk to me on certain days of the week, I am closer to being clear minded. My kids think I'm making excuses. I'm convinced its tx related.
No, not home yet. Could be a month yet. I'm in an apt. that works for now.
I am proud of you too! You took matters into your hands, got yourself on tx and outta the job. I sure hope you get that disablility retirement. You need to tell me how to do that one day. I do want to work, but my god, with the amt of work at home and John's practice, I am very busy. Waiting for that energy to return after tx...I had so much!
When do you find out about your retirement? Ya know we need to write a book about the state of education and these entitled kids.

"I had locks put on my bedroom doors when she was 12 because I was afraid I would wake up with a knife in my back one morning."
Yikes! that's how I felt about my ex-husband! TG I got rid of him. it's not so easy to divorce a kid, though.
"I won't go back to teaching either. It is really sad when the nutz get to run the asylums"
That's a perfect way of putting it, except I'd add the Ivory Tower CLub, you know, those who are always talking about "the children this and the children that and it's all about the children blahblahblah and meantime they're the last to ever have more than a ten second interaction with anyone not their age.
"They feel so entitled"
And yet they're SOOOO stupid. (sorry) That's what really drives me nuts!
"I just won my court case against the school district regarding being attacked."
I KNOW! HOORAYYYYYY! I'm right behind you - filing for disability retirement coz of SX after the union advised me i was eleigible based on 20 years service credit. Keep your fingers crossed for me. But, even if i don't get it, I'm outta there. I'm NEVER going back. Weird how it took TX to force me to deal with that issue, too.
"Nope, not going to put up with it anymore. Stick a fork in me, I am DONE."
You GOOOOOOO girl.
I swear I can't believe how strong you sound. Are you at home yet? keep it up, SFG. I'm soooo proud of you.
I think that some kids have some serious problems that can't always be resolved with love and caring. This girl is bipolar and borderline, like her mother. Big problem is her mother is the perfect one (who does nothing) and feeds her all this junk about me. I think she feels extremely entitled to a wealthy life. She is going to learn the hard way that her therapy costs are cutting big time into anything she may have inherited. Luckily for her, we are paying for college, although with her total obsession with guys, I doubt she will make it far, although I sure hope she does. I think at some point when shes in her 30's maybe she will understand she didn't know it all at age 17 and have some compassion, although if she is a sociopath, she won't.
Bug, you mentioned this niece before, w/o all the details...You do understand. I really do think that chemical imbalances as well as environmental influences have a lot to do with how children grow up. I have had a son with big problems, but I am not terrified of him. I am of her. I had locks put on my bedroom doors when she was 12 because I was afraid I would wake up with a knife in my back one morning. I still feel the same way today. It is really hard for John to hear this and to tell her I want nothing to do with her, but he did it. I think it is in her best interest as well to have consequences for her actions. My line is drawn in the sand, I have had enough and won't deal with it again.
Wyntre, you know I know about teaching....after hundreds of kids you KNOW that they are not all going to come out well. I won't go back to teaching either. It is really sad when the nutz get to run the asylums and that's what seems to be happening. We NEVER would treat teachers like they are treated today. And parents a lot of times back up their kids. Perhaps it will take a long time and a lot of teachers to leave the profession before society gets that something is really wrong with how we bring up kids today. They feel so entitled and smarter than we are, among other stuff....Don't get me started...I just won my court case against the school district regarding being attacked. I'm certainly not going to take it at home. I did for long enough, gave her enough chances. Yeah, she would appologize and be all sweet and nice and then stab me in the back the next minute. Nope, not going to put up with it anymore. Stick a fork in me, I am DONE.

GM,
"He's visiting China now with his family and I'm so glad, he won't criticze me long distance'
How funny and probably TRUE! Lucky you.
L-Horn,
have a seizure - great solution!
Hawke,
unfortunately it's no longer a byby birdy world.
Hope ya don't think I'm making these stories up?
If so, just check the news - the 3 LI teenage girls caught on video beating up a another girl, the 67 year old Penn. teacher beaten and sent to the emergency room coz he confiscated a students cell phone (which the kid wasn't supposed to be using and refused to relinquish)
Not to mention my personal experiences which haven't, luckily, yet risen to the level of making the local papers!
Most folk wouldn't last two seconds in a school - not that they'd want to and i totally Don't blame them.
Schools are the new frontline - they're war zones - and if it hasn't yet happened wherever you're living, all i can say is - you're lucky.
But the old NIMBY perspective is one that's persistent, globally as well as nationally and locally.
Don't mean to rant . . . .

I love that story. I'd go into hysterics. Sometimes I wonder if too many people have lost thier sense of humor. I wish I had the guts to say half the things I think of, but I'm not poker faced enough to pull it off.
And to everyone bemoaning those damn ingrateful kids, I hear echos from Bye-bye Birdie. " Kids, whats the matter with kids today..."

I'm so sorry your 17 year old step daughter is so rude and disrespectful to you. Many of the young people today feel "entitled". I don't know why, we never did that. It's so strange. It will pass with time. She will mature and grow up. She has so much to learn about life. She might be copying her mother who is her main role model. I hope in time you can have a really good relationship with her with respect.
My kids are grown and gone. But I still have one who is immature. He's 31 and sometimes acts like 21. He criticizes me a great deal and thinks he knows what is best for me (even when I don't ask his advice). All because he has a master's degree in college and I don't. He's visiting China now with his family and I'm so glad, he won't criticze me long distance, too expensive. He thinks I favor my older son who is 44. Well, he treats me like a Queen with total respect. Anyone would prefer that. He and his wife gave me the best Xmas last year.
