Well done DD2!! (GCSE results)

[Lilka]

We got the phone call this morning. After two years of stress, she has her results. I never want to go through this again - except I'm going to have to with DS!

She has a C in Textiles!!! I'm so happy and proud of her. She also got E's in Science and Maths and an F in English

I thought she wasn't bothered, but after getting her results, she's unhappy. She was fine when she got up, but now she's snapping and snarling at me if i dare to speak to her, and she's eating non stop (literally). I wish she'd let me in. Hopefully an afternoon with DGD will cheer her up. She absolutely adores and dotes on her neice

But I feel gutted that she's upset. I'm not unhappy in any way. Hey, this girl couldn't spell out her own first name until she was well gone 10 ( and it's short)!! I'm so happy we've got this far in just 6 years!

Trying to decide if I should try and do something celebratory today, or if i should wait because I'm not sure if she can handle anything right now

Anyway, this was supposed to be a HAPPY post So until you'll let me say it your face and give you a hug, I'll say it here instead...WELL DONE DD. I love you so much and I'm so proud of you :)

Massive congratulations Lilka! She has obviously worked really hard. With a DD currently two years behind at school, it's really cheered me up knowing that success can be achieved. WELL DONE Lilka jnr.

Thank you :)

She seems happier now, just finished watching Waterloo Road together. Decided to try baking a cake with her tomorrow as a well done

lovely, and well done you too. since sure you put lot of hard work in too. from not being able to spell her name to respectable results. fantastic achievement, hope she sees it that way too soon x

Congratulations Lilka, and I really hope dd will soon be feeling justifiably proud of herself

Whoop for her and you!!! I don't know your back story but from the comments above, it sounds like you had a tricky time. Even more reason to celebrate!! Congrats x x x

That's fantastic! If you tell her you've posted this, please tell her well done from me. I hope she'll soon realise that she is an achiever!!

She's given me hope for DD .
