@Zandathepanda So glad to hear you’ve been able to source your DD’s medication. It also reminded me that I was supposed to pickup Ds’s repeats on Thursday and forgot all about it. They are at also at the tricky age where you can’t take control of their health needs with the GP like before but if you leave it to them, they do nothing (looking at DS1).
I’m very envious of how well Piggy’s household has control of sleeping and waking times and no gadgets in the room.
I used to boast about how I will never allow a computer in the room. That is until they needed a laptop for school, then of course they neede to do homework on it, sometimes at night. Somewhere in between Ds1 became addicted to gaming, all hours! We don’t have X box, he accesses it via the Internet. DH works VERY late, so switching internet off is not an option. It’s eroded Ds1 sleeping AND eating pattern to the point I called the GP last week as he just doesn’t eat and says he’s not hungry. It seems to have triggered something in him and for the last 3 days has had between 2-3 full meals. He’s also been getting up around 12pm as opposed to 5pm, yes you read it correctly. Because his social circle is non existent and lockdown he’s been on it even more and it finally reached a critical point.
I know there’s always more we could have done before anyone arrives to put the kick in, but we’re hopeful he has started to turn a corner. It just means when lockdown lifts, I will be sending him back with lots of pre cooked meals until he is at a healthy weight and can think more rationally to start cooking for himself properly.
DS2 got amazing results for this half term, all A’s. I’m slightly worried about him peaking too early? and maybe it would’ve been better for him to progress a bit more slowly, . C’s and B’s would be more normal at this point? Hopefully he will keep it up.
Well done to everyone’s DC who’ve got their result sheets/cards, onwards and upwards!
