A month into yr 7....

And dd is getting really over tired and a bit despondent. I don't think there are any underlying issues - is it just really knackering? Anyone else's kids like the walking dead?

Roll on half term, she says she is going to sleep for the whole week, which isn't like her at all

I'm glad a PP mentioned about friendship issues. I'm about to start a thread asking for advice for dd who is struggling with an unfortunate situation

Can I just say I love you coolas. Your insights to this journey have been so, so kind and helpful. Mwah, mwah

Both my two found starting secondary tiring (neither were in the least bothered by starting reception).

DD1 has just found starting sixth form almost as bad and managed be ill three days already (3.65 days before Christmas and they'll moan, yes I'm sad and worked 95%)

paddy is right, you are fab Coolas.

Ds is exhausted and I'm worried he's going to burn out. Some days he has lots to tell me but most days he tells me nothing. And he refuses to wear his coat. Even when is pouring with rain. I can't wait for half term so he can have a bit of a rest.
