hi diamond....sympathies on a bad day as well.
hard to deal with this bullying stuff.i had it with mine, and you seemed dammed if you try to deal with it and dammed if you dont, iykwim.you think, will i make it worse if i see the parents cos they will call ds names for snitching and he will come off worse cos the bully gets its with the skool and his parents.....but you cant let it continue cos you hear all these horror stories and they shouldnt get away with it cos they will get worse.its so hard knowing what to do for the best, cos you would do anything for your kids.
hope it goes well and gets sorted asap.ds is off this week as well and an inset day next mon....i dont know how much shopping time these teachers need:)...its ds birthday on wed...is 14.....deep joy:)

Thanks hun, either way what I ever I do, I feel I cant do right.Its so true what you say, he will get stick for it.But he was bullied in his previous school.2 older biys shut him in the toilet,pulled his trousers down and spat on him. He never wanted to go back to school but I had to send him coz then I would get in trouble for not sending him. The teachers done absolutly nothing. I dont understand how kids can be so cruel and heartless.
I better dash now as Im going to be late for docs. I hope the bday party goes well hun, chat soon and hugs xx

afternoon all, feeling good this morning, was great seeing sons off to school, and going for my guitar lesson, some me time lol.
don't get me wrong i love my kids dearly but after having them non stop for the last two weeks has been tough, they never play out or do anything without me being there, so any thing for me has had to be put on hold.
looking forward to going back to woodwork at my day centre tommorrow too.
this afternoon i'm going to a depression support group, dunno how useful it will be, but i'll let you all know.

Hi Hun,
Nice to see you about. Hows things going? Have you sorted out things? Hope things are better for you either way. Its nice to have some me time, especially If you have something to do like your guitar lessons.It might feel a bit awkward or starnge when you go to the support group but Im sure after 1 or 2 you will be fine hun.I have never been but will go oneday.I have my app for counselling in a few weeks, dreading it in a way but it needs to be done.
Nope hun, council are useless as ever. I just sent an email to the top man but even he is so useless and couldnt care less. I went to see a house last week, private rented but through the council. They was suppose to call me today-they havent. I rang and rang to find out, only to be told they have no paper work, till they have it they cant do nothing yet I was promised I would know today.They are all full of S@@@.
Glad your doing good hun, keep up the good work.Sending you hugs xx

that the trouble with kids....anything thats diff to the norm.that incident earlier this month with the goth was a prime example.and the parents of the kids who did it thiught it was funny and were laughing in court......one case of blame the parents for how the kids grow up.i do worry for my own son and wonder what kind of world we live.you try your best to instill the right values in them, and if they end up in the wrong crowd, all the hard works for nowt.
ok lecture over.....
we arnt having a party for him, hes at that inbetween age where its either too babyish or descends into a rave, iykwim:)

shaz....thanks for the vote of confidence.this am i was really teed off as i have read some right stuff on other threads and none gets deleted....i mention about not having to purchase new garden equipment ....and off i go.:(
you would think that if they saw ppl had thanked the post ,they would know that it was a joke and done in good part.i believe in a certain amount of censorship but it should be looked at as a whole in context.
now watch this one go as well:rotfl: :rotfl:
all i want to do is try and cheer ppl up on here and would never be nasty...but its not the same if you are always thinking...cant say this, cant mention that.
so have cleared that up and not dwelling any more.......but im watching the watchers:rotfl: :rotfl:

I know what you mean hun about thar poor girl that was killed, if it wasnt her they would of done it to another defensles person.Their parents should be ashamed and really be prosecuted too for laughing.Its sick. You love your son so there is no way your son will turn out like these monsters hun.
Better go now as got to get littleman from school, I want to se this boy that threatend him. I doubt the school have done anything about it but we shall see.Chat soon take care xx

hi all, the depression support group was ok, got me out for an hour, this week they had a discussion on healthy eating, and how eating the right foods can help us feel better about ourselves. i eat fairly healthy anyway, but am going to try and start a food diary again, as i have found in the past writing down what i eat and how i'm feeling at the time really helps.
been naughty again today and bought some more cigs after having stopped for four days., telling myself this is deff last time i buy any. in future the money i think about wasting is going into a tin and saved for a treat just for me.
big hugs all

Glad it went ok hun,give it time and you will probaly find it very useful. Did your gp refer you to it or yourself?Maybe I should go to as Im sure it would benefit me. I beleive having a healthy diet improves depression. I should really sort out my eating, luckily I am seeing the dietican in a few weeks time so hopefully I will start getting some where and a little healthy.
Same here, I just went and got some ciggies,Im so annoyed with myself but this is definatly the last time. I was doing so well and look at me now :-(
Hope everyone is having a good evening. xx

my mental health nurse referred me to the depression support group, she runs it along with another lady. hope the dietician is helpful in getting your eating on track, any healthy tips, be sure to let us know. don't beat yourself up about smoking, we will support each other, and will both stop, i'm positive we can both do it, big hugs
