What’s wrong? – Sun 23rd Nov 2014
By Jeannette | November 23, 2014
If I had a £1 for every time I’ve said “what’s wrong?” or “tell me what’s wrong?” or tried to second guess D (and to a certain extent, T) today, I’d have quite a pile towards Christmas.
Yep, that has been the giste of the day, a day in which yes, homework and News have got done but at a price to moods and emotions.
D has spent most of it looking downcast, expecting me to second – or third – guess “what’s wrong” and it’s been little things, like I’d put her sweetcorn in a different place with her dinner or her dessert had been broadly the same, but a different make. Things that I’d just brush off, but obviously D couldn’t. Of course, though a day in which I’m grateful that D is verbal, although she does become stilted when stressed/clam up completely – hence the need for second guessing.
With T, it’s been homework; homework requiring a bit of imagination, with questions like “if you were a …bird/biscuit/animal..etc, what would you do?” The one that gave him the most problems was “smell”.
So, it’s by no means been a peaceful day but *fingers crossed* for a calmer one tomorrow.
I hope everyone’s day has gone well Jx
