    Ah Snags.
    I can understand how upsetting that is hun. You know you are a good parent, the best Mom I have ever known in fact. I would personally make a complaint against the Head-on what grounds DARE he make those accusations? It's outrageous.

    ((hugs)) for you my lovely friend. I should have come to see you last night...

    Morning, feeling a bit sad this morning for no apparent reason.

    Maybe because apart from going to work, I've spent the entire weekend by myself. :(

    Feeling a bit unloved and still can't shake off some things that !!!!!! head teacher said to me about mistreating Ryan. Feel like a terrible parent even though I know it's utter bollox. Just the fact that anyone could even think something like that about me has upset me more than I care to admit.

    they were the words of a scared man who felt threatened by you. It was an appallingly low thing for him to do but headteachers can use their position to say things others wouldn't, they do in my experience tend to think they are untouchable.

    You are not a bad mother Snags. He is a frightened little idiot. ok?

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    I agree Snaggs, he had absolutely no grounds to accuse you of anything. I'd complain, especially as you had witnesses ;)

    As I said last week, Ryan and Natasha are very lucky to have you.

    Thanks so much for being my therapist last night, dont know what I'd have done without you xxx

    I'm sitting here crying now - you are lovely friends xxx

    I would never scream and swear at Ryan. Of course I shout at him, but I work so hard to try to help him, and to be told I'm a bad mother hurts so much.

    My self esteem is so tied up in how I feel as a parent, and I feel at rock bottom. :(

    Morning.

    *Exercise is officially bad for your health.*

    Yesterday, I managed to shuffle backwards and trip over the cross trainer in the kitchen. I landed with a thump on my left elbow and it really hurts. I have got movement, although not full and I can't drive as I cant change gear :( or even lift my left hand to my mouth....makes eating a bit tricksy.

    Oh and my AOL is playing up, so I'm waiting for that to be restored. Currently stealing a neighbour's wireless :eek:

    I'm in need of shopping, so i think I'll hop on the bus to Tesco and when they ask do I need help with packing, I'll say YES. :D

    Toto, why don't you set up a new email, on Yahoo or whatever and re register with Ebay.
    Or, although I bet you've tried this, polish the shoes every night....to make them new ;) and maybe try some insoles, that you could replace, might be a bit cheaper.

    Hugs to those in need....Snags, Buffy, Bookie and Spud
    Love to all The Twit :grouphug:

    Of course it tied up with that, it's how we define ourselves as humans. I am so angry for you Snags, I know first hand how patient you are with Ryan and I know how difficult he can be sometimes. HOw DARE he make you feel like this-I am just so angry! He has no clue about your home life, he's only making assumptions (and so clearly wrong ones) and has no regard for the upset and hurt he has caused. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    I would have to take this further. I would open the biggest can of whup a$$ on his head.

    I tend to let !!!!!! get to me when my self esteem is low. :o

    I know he's wrong, I know he's trying to hurt me because he realises I actually have some fairly strong grounds for complaint about the exclusion.

    So why am I letting it bother me? :wall:

    And he knows that if you have low self esteem and confidence, you'll be far less likely to complain.

    Go get the !!!!!! ;)
