Ds2 (15) is off school again today, and I'm just not sure what to do about it.
He complains every single day about not feeling well, he has a headache, or a stomachache, or his shoulder hurts, or his leg is sore.
I have taken him to have his eyes checked - they're fine.
Last year he was off for two whole weeks and I took him to the GP who checked him for everything. She concluded he had a virus similar to glandular fever, and he has since recovered, although the moaning goes on!
I'm confident he isn't being bullied, and he has no problems at school - and the moaning goes on through weekends and holidays too.
This morning I gave him paracetamol for his head, he ate breakfast and then announced he felt really sick, and has taken to his bed.
This is the third time he's been off since Christmas, I've been giving him the benefit of the doubt, but I really don't know if any of this is genuine any more.
