Piggers do you feel it is time to get a medical opinion on Dot or will that not help?

I've thought she needed checking out for the last 3.5 years.. I simply do not know where to start. The others went mostly through school but this not sleeping and he general behaviour is just devolving and the more you tell her off the worse she gets, I simply don't know what to do with her!

sounds exhausting pigpen a lot of folk say ignore the bad and praise the good but that's impossible when they are at risk of endangering themselves or hurting someone. Does she respond to anything? Rewards? I know little moo hates wearing trousers (!) so I tell her I'll take the dresses away if her behaviour is poor . Does she get pocket money - it's probably bonkers but I "fine" DS now if he pushes or hits little moo. I took €5 off him on holiday as the little ******* kicked her in the neck in the swimming pool I was spitting feathers and was ready for hauling him onto a plane home :eek:

But I'm sure you have hundreds of tactics you've tried already x

Worked too long today, trying to make up for my lateness tomorrow. But I've cooked a good healthy tea, cleaned up after and read to / cuddled / coloured in with the kiddies. Oh and I tidied the garage room so I can work in there tomorrow.

Need an early night but also need to type the minutes up from a week ago :eek:

I don't know where the day has gone.

Invigilating done
Finance papers looked at
Finance meeting been to
Head chatted to about various issues
DS1's new cricket top is way too big - annoying as size small is very small, can't return as they are embroidered to order but he may be able to sell to somebody at the club.

Eye drops put in DS3's eyes - hayfever is playing havoic with them

Going to chill for 30 minutes and then bed.

I'm going to the big yellow building tomorrow, always reminds me of Mudbath and her incident.

Went to see preview of a royal night out, enjoyed it a nice easy fun film. Princess margaret was a hoot and played it so well, the costumes and accents were apt to the era. Perhaps not one I'd have paid to watch but a great free night out. DD3 and her fianc!e went as well they enjoyed it.

Just got back from picking up Ds2 from explorers - he stinks of smoke as they were helping the Beavers with their fire starter badges do told him shower and hair wash of all his bedding will smell.

Just grabbing a cuppa and a few pages of my book then I'm off to bed.

Night all.

Managed to finish work a little earlier today so came home for 45 minutes and did some tidying and jobs before picking up ds1 from after school club.

Bedroom looking a lot better but still could do with some more work. Kitchen has had a clear and a wipe, dw on and emptied, wm done and on airers, bread made and currently cooling. Wishing it to cool down quicker so I can go to bed!

Only thing off my mini list that didn't get covered was hhi so will put that on to tomorrow's list!

YORKSHIRELASS

MrsMP great that your school organises that kind of thing. It sets my teeth on edge when Dads give kids a fiver for scoring goals at footie. We have a kid who has never scored a goal but its a fantastic player, where is his reward then?

Oh and Pigpen you sound so stressed. Personally I have a lot of admiration for you with your brood and having to cope with the ex. Sometimes at that age they can push you to the limits.

Glad you are OK LW, must have been a real shock.

I have just washed the kitchen floor. So much paid stuff this week its just a question of doing what really needs to be done. It will be another long day today so best get moving.

mrs-moneypenny

Morning all

Yorkshirelass, that's probably the reason he's a great player. His enthusiasm for the game will hopefully last longer than those who get the monetary reward.
My half bro (from my dad) was a late child and got anything he wanted, he took up swimming and got all the badges once he got to the top level and there were no other awards to get he stopped swimming, likewise he took up karate was hugely competitive and worked his way through the badge system again once he got his black belt he just gave up. He wanted the reward ie the belt or the badge and once there Was nothing higher to get he gave up his interest in it.

LWsorry yo hear about the car prang, I'm so glad neither of you wee hurt, but it still must gave been a shock!

Pigpen, sorry no advice I can offer just. Lots of supporting and coping vibes, I hope that no get the help and support you need for both your sakes.
Rating he so just ran out to save the washing, it's damp so getting the airer out will be my first job.
Currently trying yo gee the boys along and declutter the to work and school.
No sure what my hours will be today, I've been told I'll get a phone call, this morning. Plan yo do the ironing once the boys have gone.
Fencer texted last night he's going to measure up tonight do wheels are in motion there.

Better go and shift the boys,,,, AGAIN!
