    Oh and Ive had 2 flucking awful days....
    Yesterday picked DD up from school and she said she hated one of the teachers/helpers at school, why? Because she has pushed her into a queue. DD is OCD child and WILL not forget this even though there really isn't an issue in my mind, thats what they have to do to get them all in a queue and keep them safe. Spoke to someone today about it just so they were aware that DD was obviously anxious about it. One of the leaders said DD has been very very clingy lately and wanting 1 on 1 attention all the time :eek: So either I am not giving her enough attention at home and she is seeking it from others or she gets too much at home and its what she is used to and therefore seeks it at school. Talk about stressing me out that she is unhappy :(

    Yes. It's all your fault. She's doing something which is inconvenient to the people at that school. It can't be them doing something wrong at the time. You're doing something. Too much of something. No actually - too little of it. No. Perhaps it's both too much and too little of it all at the same time. Whatever it is, the people at the school are completely blameless. After all, if your daughter complains about an event that happened at school, it's nothing to do with that event at all. It's a sub-Freudian complex about something you did. In her childhood no less. It has to be you! The school is blameless! BLAMELESS YOU HEAR!!

    Now go away and thrash yourself for all your failings, and your horrible motherness and try to pretend they're not really talking shiite... :rolleyes:

    DS and DD are both displaying 'stress' behaviours at the minute-we still have DD toilet problems and DS has started biting his nails so badly, he makes them bleed. I worry all the time it's because I work, I'm a horrible Mom, etc. Apparently both 'common' problems but doesn't make you feel any better does it!?

    Alternatively, it could have absolutely nothing to do with what you're doing and could just be "one of those things"...

    That would explain why it's common...

    I think the honours may go to your DH tonight, not YOU.

    We all beat ourselves up about being bad parents but honestly, lets look at what our parents did to us! lol I have NEVER smacked my childrens bottom like I had mine wholloped as a kid, or shook like a rag doll like mine did to me, and I still love my Mom....


    I have 'kind of' restored balance to my kitchen and also ordered a chinese. DH told me he understands WHY I am stressed but that to get used to it because when he re-wires it will be worse. *bunny now remembers WHY she always wanted to buy new houses*

    Bunny, my mum used to buy shacks and do em up (took her a couple of years at a time) - is there any way you could just draw the line at the mess going into just one room and retreat into it...(I think the answer is no though if I remember your house layout)

    Yeah you are right, she's never been good with people pushing, touching her. Although I have noticed she has been more clingy and started crying when I leave her lately...!!!!!! why is parenting so hard

    When you say "leave her" do you mean "at school"?

I am SO glad I am not leaving her with him for a whole weekend. Off to have a cry in the corner

    If I complained that she was wearing clothes, do you think they could do something about that..?
