5th grade.....teachers calling saying she was threatening to bite them, that she was shutting down and ignoring them in class, that she called classmate molerat.
9th grade....teacher says to me "Your daughter is awesome, I wish all her classmates were as well behaved and as attentive as she is"
5th grade....take kiddo out to sports complex and she has complete meltdown over crowd and strangers and is hanging on to the fence screaming for us to just send her back.
9th grade....take kiddo out to the food truck rodeo, really crazy crowded, way worse than the sports complex. I was starting to get stressed. We look over at kiddo and can tell she's a little anxious but overall doing okay. We ask how she feels and she says stressed, but it's okay, that she'll tough it out because she knows we'd been looking forward to going.
Ridiculously proud of her for that, but we left and didn't eat there. Where's the enjoyment of lunch out if the whole family can't enjoy it. We enjoyed Cracker Barrel instead, lol
5th grade....tell kiddo to do homework, she claims it's already done and it isn't.
9th grade....tell kiddo to do homework, she either says it's done and it is or she gets right on it.
5th grade....try to help kiddo with homework, she meltdowns and screams for us to send her back, she hates us
9th grade...try to help kiddo with homework and have a reasonably good time together, considering what the chore is
6th grade....stranger contacts kiddo online and she responds and doesn't tell us, continuing to talk to him
8th grade.....contacted online and she immediately brings it to us for us to report to police
5th grade.....smart girl, but doesn't apply herself, mostly due to anxiety, ptsd, etc and barely passes. I'm concerned about her having foundation to even pass 6th grade and grades going forward. Wouldn't barely passing just make the next year that much harder.
9th grade.....all but one class is an A. Don't even get me started on the other class, it was not even her fault. Technological error.
5th grade....give consequence for action, has total meltdown, takes 6 years to actually do it because you have to get past meltdown first
9th grade...give consequence, get the eye roll a lighthearted ugh and does it and back to her normal self
I hope I'm not jinxing us by sharing this. Honestly, I think that's why I have not been so diligent with giving updates lately.
She's an amazing daughter and I'm so lucky to be her momma!
