B goes out to play, parent comes to door compaining about B's behaviour.

Tuesday - 'A' screaming head off cause she 'forgot' to get her mum to sign a permission slip for school trip at contact, still screaming as closed door behind her as she left for school. take B to school. Try contacting mum re slip.
'B's School phones .... smashing room up, Collect at 11am, set him some work on the laptop and try to do some paperwork for upcoming review. B bored and stabbing at keys so close laptop. set him a jigsaw which goes flying accross room, we wrap up and go walking dog!! lunch on return and sit with 'B' with laptop again, give up after 20min and let him play with cars.
Still trying to contact 'A's mum, send update e-mail's to both kids SW's.
'A' returns from school, take her to dance class, start dinner, collect 'A', serve dinner, take 'A' to Guides, let 'B' watch DVD (not allowed out) collect'A'
Wednesday - 'A' screaming again, can't find PE kit, 'it's not where I left it' (?).
I find it bottom of wardrobe, starts screamimg again cause 'she NEVER put it there!!! ' . Meeting at 'B's school, they agree to let him back in right away.
Go to 'A's mums house and get form signed, drop it off at school. Meet friend for coffe. Take kids to McDonalds for dinner as cant be bothered cooking lol.
Thurs - 'A' having full scale meltdown and taking no prisoners, she 'forgot' to charge her mobile phone, her life has ended!!!!! It's raining and 'B' refuses to wear a coat, so he's soaking when we get to school. Settle down to attack review papers again. School phones 2pm, he's smashed a laptop, decapitated all the seedlings P1 and P2 had planted,and broke a chair, so off I go again on the merrygo round that is living with 'B'.
Fri - 'A' having a hissy fit cause 'B' ate the last banana! 'it's what she wanted for breakfast and nothing else will do!' slams door on way out and the hall mirror crashes to floor (just what I need, just getting to the end of the last 7 yrs bad luck!) 'B' happy as larry as school not letting him back till Monday, the same can't be said for me!! still not finished those dam review papers.
The weekend consists of activities and contact for both, contact is stressful for both kids and we as a family take the backlash :( 'A' has not seen her SW for 4 months, we see 'B's a bit more as we have lots of meetings at the school but she doesn't come and see him on his own very often, maybe every 2 months or so, I havn't heard from our SW since our own review in Feb.
We have been FCs for 12yrs and the support we recieve now is the worst it has ever been.
