Thanks guys. When you have kids all else is not that important. At least I believe that's how it should be. I get so frustrated with my niece that has a 3yr & 5yr old. They are such little sweeties but she won't get her butt out of bed and help get him ready for school. Her excuse is that they are trying to teach them to be responsible. I think that['s all good but at 3 and 5 she needs to get up and their breakfast and help them prepare for school.
When my daughter was in the public school the teachers basically treated her like she was stupid. She got to the point of when she got home from school she would cry for 2-3 hours each night saying that she was the stupidest kid at school and wish she had never been born and things like that. She became very attached to me so much so that she had to be with me even when I went to pick up my son from football practice instead of staying home with my husband and playing. I also had to lay with her each night until she went to sleep because she didn't want to be alone. She was put in special classes with very low IQ kids and behavior problem kids and that was a horrible situation. It was very bad so we felt we had no choice. In 5th grade at the private school it was such a pleasure when I went to pick her up to see her come to the car laughing and telling me about her day and the friends she had. But the school is amazing. It used to be around these parts that the most expensive school was the one Reece Witherspoon attended but this one has gone way beyond that. Actually there are a couple of Witherspoons that attend there. One of my daughter's friends is Reece's cousin. It's weird though some of these kid's parents have private jets and their houses look like giant hotels. the thing is the parents are so normal and not all snotty like I expected, probably because they have been through similar situations with their kids just perhaps other private schools.
Debi the NARS bronzer looks very nice on you.
I'm sorry to hear about your mom. We use to get frustrated with my mom also trying to get her to go to the doctor and then following through with his instructions was such a pain. She also wanted to try and tell the dr what she needed like in medication. If I was her dr I would have strangled her
She would never take her medicine like she instructed especailly the ones that need to build up in your system and very important that she take them regularly. I know it is difficult but just remember there is only so much you guys can do, it's really up to her. Have they tried any anti-depressants with her or would she even take them? Perhaps that would help her to feel better so that she would start to follow through with things. The thing is that it takes a lot of trial and error to get the right one and right dose and older people get frustrated with it because it is all so new to them. Usually drs are pretty good at choosing a good one to start off with though. Good luck Sweetie.
