Just talking to a lad who used to be Toms best buddy at Primary. He sounds so depressed - so sad. He is quite a big lad and he is getting awful verbal bullying - just like Tom did (and still is I reckon.) He sounds suicidal on Facebook. Have been trying to talk to him but he is so sad. His Mum, to be honest, is not very involved with his life.....she used to leave him with me for hours and hours when she went to work. I get the feeling he 'gets in the way of her life and what she wants from it.'
OMG this is such a crap age.
Tom said he is not doing his homework....he's sick of doing homework. I am trying a new tactic. I haven't spoken to him for the past 2 hours - I cant because I will either loose my temper or cry. I think the older I have got the less I can cope with kids 
On a lighter note 
- Lew told me today that he was messing with his willy in the bath and, with big wide eyes said, 'Mummy said leave it alone or it will drop off!!' 'Will it drop off Andma?' 'I dont know love perhaps it would be better to just stop messing with it.' He pondered over it for a bit then said 'D'ya think that Mummy messed with her willy and thats why she hasn't got one anymore.'
