I am so pissed off lately... I feel like I have a very f'ed up family! I seem to be the ONLY one who knows how to do simple stuff like change the toilet paper, pick up a cookie/goldfish/cheerio etc before it gets crunched into my floors etc. My house literally looks like a hurricane, tornado, A-bomb and jumbo jet went through it! Im so tired of living in a mess & I cant seem to get on top of it, especially with no help. When I ask for it, I get the bare minimum! And dont get me wrong, this is not an average size house... there are 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, Family room, living room, kitchen, dining room & laundry room. Im one person & I have to clean, do laundry, take care of the kids, go to physical therapy, run my oldest to scouts/taekwondo/baseball etc... I have no time to myself & when I do Im bugged for something...Im just so damn exhausted and in pain from my back. I really wish I could just take a plow and drive it through the house & get all this shit outta here! They're all ungrateful for what they have anyway, they dont need it! Ok, vent 1 done... for now :o)
Next on the agenda... Today was a nice normal day... Kids got up, oldest went to school, 930 comes, I go to physical therapy...thats where the niceness ends. As Im leaving therapy, Im checking my cell and I see that the school called & my DH called... So I run to one of the lady's in the cub scouts home to drop off a check for the up coming camping trip...get a call from DH on the way there asking me where I was. I told him... "I told you after therapy I had to run to *****'s house to drop off the check, I'll be home soon" He tells me the school called & I have to pick up DS. Im thinking he was sick... So I was like OK, I'll be there soon. Im almost @ the school & DH calls again... Im like WHAT??? IM ALMOST THERE! He says he wants to be there too & he's there, he'll meet me... I was thinking WTF? I just have to pick up DS... NOOOOOOOO NOT so easy... I was there b/c the school councelor feels that DS can not stay in school til he's evaluated by the hospital or a psychiatrist because he's a suicidal risk!!! WTF????? HES 7!!! You take ONE look at him & guaranteed he's SMILING, LAUGHING & HAVING A GREAT TIME! I asked her what she meant & she said that DS's friend in class told the teacher who then told her that DS said he wants to kill himself & when she got into it with him he repeated it to her... and since he said that they HAVE to ask how and he said "I have a pocket knife that I got for cub scouts, It has 4 blades & is really sharp" It was bought Xmas 2007, and its still not out of its original package!!! DH just thought it was a tool that a scout should have... So, counselor says... he has to go home & be monitored! I was like hellllooooo??? Dont you think he's safer here then at home? There are so many more people at the school then at my house! Basically it came down to them not wanting to take the liablity "IF" he does anything. I can understand that, but hey, he says the problem is at home... WHY you ask? BECAUSE EVERY TIME (his exaggeration) HE GOES UPSTAIRS TO PLAY LEGOS HE GETS CALLED DOWN TO DO SOMETHING!!!!! So the school is taking it fucking literal because he's upset that he cant play with his legos???? He could have said "I want to punch a wall" or " I want to run away"... but no, cause he chose those words: " I want to kill myself" He's not allowed back to school til he sees someone... God forbid kids have bounderies! Im sooo pissed. I dont know what to do, what to say... its like I have to walk on egg shells so my kid doesnt say the wrong thing.. so what? No chores cause he might kill himself? I dont want anyone reading this to think that Im not taking a suicide threat seriously, but if you know my DS... this is absolutely absurd... GRRRR Ok, I feel a little better now... not much, just a little.. If you made it this far, thanks for reading...
<-------LOOK THIS COULD KILL ME IF I DID IT... SHOULD I NOT BE ALLOWED ON CM ANYMORE... LOL... SORRY

Yeah, I have no choice... school wont let him back in w/o written consent of a dr.
I understand your frustration and even more so because I have a 9,7, $ 3 year sons. My kids have said things before, (especially in public) that I wonder, "why the hell would they say such things." So really I do understand the frustration.
Did you by any chance say to him (or your DH) that this is a cub scout knife with 4 blades that are really sharp, and could seriously hurt you?
My older two sons are in cub scouts. My oldest has three or maybe four knives, all BSA approved. He has his whittling card. He knows how to respect them and practice safety. However, that has only happened in the last year, as a Bear. My middle son has a Swiss army knife but has not used it, nor does he have a clue about it yet, except that its sharp & not allowed to touch it with my husband and I.
I just wonder, if he was frustrated and repeated what he heard. I know my kids repeat many speils of mine at one time or another.
We have told him that he's not to play with it & its not a toy that its sharp...but its still in its package from a year & 1/2 ago... he knows its only for scouts & we were going to open it this coming weekend for his camping trip. Now DH & I have to wonder... is he really gunna use it for something OTHER then what its meant for? UGH!!!
That must be so frustrating! Sorry you're having such a rough time. I hope it gets better soon!
Oh lord.... as to the 1st section, I totally feel your pain. I finally wrote up chore charts for everyone, & get this.... they are actually following it!!! Thank god! Now on to the more difficult part. I guess because of all the crap that goes on a t schools now a days they have to take everything literally. It sucks, but I guess they don't want to be liable if something happens & someone finds out that a child said something at school that could have been brought to someones attention. So, I'm sure that an evaluation will clear things up & then you can send him back to school!!! A pain in the ass, yes, but at least they will have the eval. on hand if he says something in the future!!! Good lord woman....... whats in the Jersey water, lol!
