This week is knackering me out !!! Ds went to bed tonight fine then woke up and has started being sick everywhere I put him in my bed while I changed his bedding and then he threw up all over my bed too The poor washing machine can't keep up I can't help but think something must be really worrying him or on his mind at the moment but can't get out of him what it could be ... also can't believe how sicky he's been since he started school, I know everyone says they catch loads of stuff while they're building up their immunity but he seems to have been ill constantly over the last couple of months

today I've spent £4.00 on food :eek: ... quidco is showing as about £8 to pay out this month, I wasn't expecting any, it wasn't due til after christmas :T I have had an email saying theat my direct debit for electricity has been increased to £35 which is fine. Mums done all my washing and ironing again for me this evening I have decorated a jam jar with ds for the school fayre and found out he is going to be a sheep in the school play
Nothing much else to report today really, payday tomorrow so I need to have a final sort out of finances tonight to see where we've ended up for the month

Hope DS is feeling better today - was he off school or was he feeling better?

Glad you got all the washing done for you

I need to check end of month finances before being paid tom too - scared to do it though lol!

He was absolutely fine again today, got up, ate breakfast and was completely normal so I sent him in I went to see his teacher tonight abut his behaviour and she thinks a lot of it is because he isn't used to playing with groups of children, he tends to spend most of his time with adults or with one other child rather than lots of kids, and she said his socialising skills still need some work He has always been quite shy and has never been the life and soul of the party or great at making new friends, so maybe he's finding it all a bit hard We've come up with a few strategies between us so will see how it goes

Sea78

Oh I'm glad you left the meeting with some positive strategies - do you feel any better about it all now?

benbenandme

Yes and no, I'm glad I've spoken to the teacher, but I'm still concerned as to why he's behaving this way ... he knows what he's doing is naughty but he's not sorry for it He hit me a couple of times tonight too, he gets really angry and really frustrated
On the plus side I spoke to his father tonight about it and he was actually fairly civil for a change so hopefully he will start to support me on this one :rolleyes:

Hi benben just had a quick read through your diary and i have to say:eek: to the unexpected masculine bodyparts!!!:o sounds like you had a good escape there!!!!:D

sorry to hear about the problems with the wee one, not being a mum I really can't offer any advice but a big hug to you. glad that today went well though and hopefully that will be a good positive point thats come out of it.
(((Hugs)))

Glad his dad is being somewhat supportive - long may it last! Does DS like books? You could have a route in the library for books on this theme - Sophia has an issue with sharing (big time) and my mum got her a series of books on 'Why Should I.....Share? Eat Healthily etc and they definitely had an impact and helped. Might be worth a try? He could just be testing the boundaries as well.

Thank you Sea, I might do that and I may ring the health visitor too. He is pretty good at sharing stuff he strugges with making friends and playing together, he does still tend to play alongside others rather than with them. Then again, he is one of the youngest in his class, some are already and he won't be 5 until July
