dd has been of school for 3 days "unwell" didn't seem to be much wrong with her... but as I had the call from school and they felt she was unwell, I allowed her the time.
she is going back tomorrow and you would think I was the cruelest mum, the slightest mention of school makes her cry, I have found out it is cos she misses me.....

she has to go, and I know it is age appropriate as remember ds bunked of a bit at 15(found out after) so wish me luck....

bet she convinces them she is ill as we have 3 nights respite this week, we never have 3 nights (had a night that had to be used, the 3 days are broken up so 2 and then friday night, sh says it isn't that)

ohh you cruel mother, you Grin
no you're not, she's being a proper teenager (go DD!!) and you're a fantastic mum to her. I'm sure she's way cleverer than we are (and judging by the photos of her, she's a minx) and can't you go and have a secret giggle that she's exhibiting all her teenage bunking abilities despite her difficulties? She's awesome!
And wishing you lots of good luck (and some earplugs?)

Good luck! I hope she stays in school for you. x

P.S. can't she take something of 'yours' with her, so she can hug it when she misses you? Mine do that Wink even 10yo ds1. a little bear on a keyring is his thing, and it lives in his too-cool-for-school rucksack. Cos he's 'ard. obviously.

Oh, I hope it goes well tomorrow - sorry your DD is upset- and I hope it works out and you get your respite- good luck

It is so hard. DS1 seems to hate going to school. He spends the time before the bus comes saying 'stay at home, stay at home', over and over again. He used to be positively delighted to go to respite with his old Link carers but less so in the new place, though not unhappy.

Does your DD struggle with transitions? I think DS is ok once he has arrived at school - ish. I do believe he is bored at school - is your DD getting enough fun there? DS couldn't give a shit about being educated!! Typical teenager in that respect

she is fine phew...
as we speak she is packing dollys bag for respite(so that means she is ok about 2 nights respite, she doesn't take the doll, the doll goes to it's own place lol)

they said she was very upset on arrival, but soon cheered up.
I do think it is the teen thing, she enjoys school and when asked didn't say anything was wrong at school, it is all about wanting to be at home.
they keep them very busy at school, but she always gets a bit "naughty" in the top year, she was like this in yr 6 .

DD is your son going to the youth scheme?
