He was off school for 2 days due to having hurt his wrist and having it strapped up. I ahd DS2 (11) at home too with a bad cold.
Anyway last night I gave DS1 (13) some clothes of his and asked him to put thm away. He took a massive strop and threw them all up int eh air. Then lay down on his bed yelling "It's not fair".
I calmly picked the clothes up and went into our room, my intention being to put the clothes into DH's wardrobe, out of his way, to see if he eveentually realised they were missing. He came into teh bedroom behind, kicking the door open. it, obviously, rebounded and caught him ont eh ankle.
More wailing and crying
Anyway this morning he got up and got dressed. Then said "I'm not going to school, this hurts to wlak on it"> I wanted to say "well that's what ahppens when you kick doors", but didn't.
He's refused point blank to go to school, saying that he can't walk to the bus and can't walk round school as his ankle is sore.
He is upstairs , I made him go into the spare room where there is no tv or x-box and he's wailigna nd shouting "It's not fair". I don't drive,and DH is overseas, so I jsut need to get this off my chest on here!
