Cried

[Freetigerking]

I’m not usually a crier but had a really bad morning. Bath leaked into my dining room. Then trying to home school my 10 year old son. He’s so far back in his learning I’m so worried. Plus I’m having to take the lead with his learning then I’m struggling to understand his work yes , primary 6 work!! We had a bit of a tantrum, I’m spending more time with my son and I feel not so much with my daughter who’s 8 and In p4,Scottish school. Then out of the blue my daughters teacher phoned. I start crying. I’m so embarrassed, I’m cringing now. He was so nice. I told him I was having a bad day with teaching my son, he’s going to speak to my sons teacher. Now my sons teacher will be phoning me shortly to see if she can help. The poor guy prob wished he hadn’t phoned. God I wish the ground would swallow me up

Ah don’t worry. We’ve all been there xx

I'm a teacher. Send me a message if I can help op.

That sounds like a day that could make anyone cry!

No need to feel bad, hopefully the school will be able to support you now they are aware of the fact you could use it.

I was there a couple of weeks ago. Mortified on the day but things have massively improved as work has been set more at my DC’s level (in year one), Hope it gets better for you.

@WentworthPrison That’s so sweet of you

The poor guy prob wished he hadn’t phoned

I bet he’s more likely glad he phoned - as you sound like you’re about to crack and telling him will have enabled him to get you some help. Don’t be embarrassed - bottling things up is no good for anyone.
I’ve done this btw in the past when I was suffering from PND - cried at an almost stranger - sometimes we can be more open with people we don’t know very well than with those close to us. You did the right thing to tell him you’re struggling.

Thank you, that is so kind. I take my hat of to you as being a teacher can’t be easy especially with what’s going on just now. the teacher phoned and I explained what I was struggling with. Once I know what I’m doing I’m fine but I told her the problem was trying to understand it in the first place. She is going to help. She was very nice. It dosent help when others in the class are displaying beautiful peace’s of work. I’m just frustrated as I’m having to sit with him every min and tell him what to do. Plus I’m not spending as much time with my daughter. Just a bad day all round. Dosent help I have hurt my back. I just keep telling myself only another 4 is weeks till hopefully the schools will open and I can get back to work.

Aw, don't feel bad about crying. They won't think badly of you - all they'll want to do is help. Hurting your back, having water leak through your ceiling and having to teach your little ones is no walk in the park.
