Repetition – Tues 29th Sept 2015
By Jeannette | September 29, 2015
I’d do anything for T and D, within reason of course.
Feel my inner lioness roar at that person who stares and mutters about “badly behaved children” if D is overwhelmed by sensory issues in a busy, public place? You betcha!
And battle what seems like ones which can’t be won when it comes to trying to obtain access to the services that would enable them to develop? Yep. That’s me. It’s part and parcel of parenting, attempting to make others see them as not just a budget figure but individuals, whether it be educational or leisure-related.
But sometimes something chips beneath that tough exterior I’ve formulated for myself and today that happened, it surprised me as to what it was.
Repitition.
The OCD aspect got to me today. The need that both T and D have to perform a task over and over (and over) again. Poor D still has her sensitive ear so any activities from her direction have been louder than usual. Which upsets T, who reprimands D, who reacts …. you get the picture.
It made me want to find somewhere quiet (maybe in with the guinea pigs?), to just regroup a bit but then the routine that they need and crave still has to happen – or there would be more repercussions than my hiding with the piggies for sure.
Today is a “blog it out” post, tomorrow will be a more settled one, for sure.
