One More Day Of School Thank God

This week I have had enough!

I'm so glad it's the last day tomorrow then the holidays because if I don't get a break from that school soon, I swear I will have some form of meltdown and upset a lot of people.

I am so damn frustrated and annoyed.

I thought that teachers finish telling you what to do when you left school. I didn't think that they carried on doing it to adults and parents alike.

I am at the end of my patience and fit to burst.

I like the way that the school does treat kids as individuals, I just wish they could do the same for parents.

To stop treating every parent like they are an only child family. To take into account you have other kids that you are responsible and that sometimes they need attention too.

James has been given an appointment at the Child Development Centre that we've waited 3 months for. We were given very strict instructions that no other children were allowed, that they had no childcare facilities and it HAD to be a parent and James alone. So, we get the appointment for 9am January 3rd!! Slap bang in the middle of the school holidays when everyone I know who could possibly look after the big 2 are back at work. Hubby has no holiday left. My family all live half an hour away, work and would have to be at mine for 8am for me to get there in time.

Being honest and telling the school I have to reschedule it, I'm the big bad guy for not attending that appointment as they are so hard to come by!

I'm sorry, but instead of having a go at me for it being the most inconvenient time EVER maybe the people at these centres should look into family graphics before making pathetic appointments.

This is the last in a long list of "you should do this, you should do that" from the school regarding each child. All of which I've done. It just never feels enough.

The school just seems to make me feel and more of a failure despite doing everything I am advised. It's getting beyond a joke. 

I've even given up being a volunteer as I just feel so bloody useless! What hope have other kids got with me helping them if I can't help my own.

I am just feeling dragged down and the teachers are so bloody patronising repeatedly telling me this appointment will help him etc and ya know, I SO want to help, I want this to be over, I want to get this done, I don't want the same shit different day crap for the next year or two, I just want to get it all done. The waiting is frustrating but so are the impossible to keep appointments as no-one has the brain cells to realise that it's probably not a good idea to give people appointments when there's other kids off school. They are obviously back after new year so why do they feel that no-one else may be?

I could just scream sometimes.

Of course, I know the teachers are just trying to help but at times like this, they really aren't helping at all.
