No one ever told me that parenting would be easy. But, damn. This kind of sucks.
The kids are both struggling in school.
If they were struggling because this school is harder than their last one, that would be one thing. But, no. In fact they both think that this school is "easy". And, I think, therein lies the problem.
The boy has trouble focusing. The girl got three demerits this semester (two in the last two days).
Who are these children?
Coincidentally, we are going to visit a new school tonight. I don't blame the school we chose for our problems. I place all of the blame squarely at my own feet. (Well, mine and the kids themselves.) But I don't feel like I have any support or understanding at the "easy" school and that is making everything harder.
If it wasn't for the few moments of overwhelming joy, I don't think anyone would want to be parents at all.
At times like this, I feel like a sad kid at summer camp. All I can think is, I want to go home! I truly had no idea just what an excellent education they were getting on the bayou.
