Ok I haven't talked about this at all this year. But it's starting to get on my last NERVE! Who knew I had so much patience? My oldest is so sweet and sensitive. She really is. She has been pushed around all year by the Mean girls at school and all she really wants is to be their friends. But they are always picking. She's been seeing the school counselor since September to learn how to deflect it but really "I" statements don't really seem to have any affect on these girls. She never wanted me to go to the parents and talk to them about it. She was afraid of what the kids might do etc.
Finally last week she hit her breaking point and told me I could tell one mom if it meant we could cancel the carpool which she had been begging me to do for weeks. So I did have that talk and the carpool was cancelled. The first day there was some nastiness with the child telling everyone she wasn't speaking to Em. But hey Em was really good with that and was lighter than air going to school Wed., Thur and Friday they were all great days she woke up early made her own lunch couldn't wait to get there, was all bouncy etc. Then yesterday she got her hair cut. And now we're back to the ICK. Clearly the parent talking to the child meant nothing. Mean girl 1 got together with an even Meaner girl that bullied MG1 all year last year(and they complained about her, go figure) and they ganged up on Em talking about her hair etc. etc. etc.
I'm so frustrated. She's down again about school and she shouldn't be. Three good days out of the entire school year that's all we get, really? Poor kid she is doing everything right. She's using the right words she's telling them how it makes her feel they just don't give a flying fig.
I just needed to vent I can't take it anymore. This sitting back letting them fight their own battles in the manner that suites them best is getting the better of me! I'm sorry to bring this here but UGHHH I want to scream outloud and can't!
