I dread getting up in the morning anymore. I totally love my life and my kids but I truly hate the issues with getting Emmett to go to school.
It's so incredibly heartbreaking to have to coerce Emmett into going to school.
I don't use threats or really any type of force but I do talk him into doing something that he's so upset about, his tummy hurts.
There is rarely a morning that goes by where he willingly goes to school.
We have a standoff of sorts and I promise to check on him throughout the day, which I do. The problem is that no one directly asks him if he's okay when I call.
The reason for that is because we are going by how he's doing at school. If we asked him, I can promise you he'd want to come home every single time.
This is something that I'm really struggling to deal with in my own.
Being a single parent means I have no backup and no one to tag if I need to walk away for a bit. The school is helping in every way they can but I have to get him there in order to take advantage of that help.
Every single morning, I get to be the bad guy.
I'm the one who has to make him go to school against his will. Even though it's the closest thing to being the *right thing to do, *it feels pretty shitty.....
