So it is day two of the juice fast for me Tony starts tomorrow. Have to say I feel pretty good, hungry but that's to be expected. I really hope its all worth it.
My little guys are on day 7 of their grounding for playing in an empty apartment, they have been really good, just do not know if it has been long enough. The other child that was with him is grounded till the end of school year to me that seems overboard but to each their own. I think that they will stay grounded another week, but I will allow them to leave their room and got to church on Saturday. Am I too easy on them? I always question myself on that, they really are good boys they just need to not follow so much. I need to teach them to be positive leaders.
It's crazy raising children, everyone has their own way. Everyone questions if their doing a good job, it can be confusing and stressful. For example I am trying to decide if I should home school Joey and William, or leave them in public schools. They seem to really dislike the school, and really struggle there. I think a lot has to do with their slight ADD issues, and maybe it is my fault. I just do not like the affects of the meds on them. But I have to wonder what the difference is from when I attended school and now. I suffered from ADD then, but I guess it was just assumed that I had a hard time with concentration and the teachers did what they could to help. What happened to our teachers work ethic? It used to be normal for a child to be hyper most children are. Now its unacceptable, they are expected to sit for 6 and a half hours and if they cant gotta put them on a pill. Am I the only one that has issues with this? My son actually got in trouble for dancing while the class was listening to a song. They were standing but they were suppose to stand still? I have an issue with this, maybe I am the only one but I don't think so.
I almost pulled them out of public school last month, it was frustrating dealing with the calls everyday, knowing that on a normal day I have no problem with their behavior, why does the school? The principal finally called and asked me to keep them in so they could do an evaluation and see if they can help with learning and behavior. This was a month ago and I have not heard anything, but did here if I pull my children they lose money. So that fact explained a lot to me, so what do I do? Whats best for my boys? I hate the idea of them not having the experience of public school, the friendships, music, gym, dances, sports, etc. I know that they have resources for home school children but no one will ever convince me that they are even close to the same.
I am one confused Mommy.
