Which kid do you think is more co-operative?
My talented boy happily doing his school work.
Meanwhile...music is NOT one of Aces school subjects - this is called PROCRASTINATION! Little shit knows that because he's playing guitar I'm going to let things slide! I so wish he took music as a subject because he's got talent, but he didn't want to 'have to' perform.
A 'its not, not coffee', 'it's hard coffee', is the perfect beverage at the end of the day. Aka Irish Coffee oh yeah!
Tuesday 11th August
We haven't really been following the school timetable as we have a work pack so can be a little flexible.
Because of this things have been going okay...
Well, up until today when I lost my shizzle completely at a certain Mr.16!
But, after a break from each other we were able to push past it and just get the work done.
Have to admit, confiscating that certain someones mobile phone until it was done helped with the achievement!
Yelling, or more to the point screaming, is certainly not a behaviour I am proud of. I plan to be more mindful of the frustration rising and just say 'stuff it'. Whilst the work needs to get done, its just not worth the turmoil to push it like I did today. Not to say it means he/they can be lazy.
Hopefully, like me, he has learnt from todays experience and continues to put head down, bum up and JFDI!
If he invested half the energy he uses complaining about doing the work, into the actual work, he would be finished everything by lunch time!
All jokes aside, having them at home where they are safe, makes losing fists full of hair worth it!
Tomorrows a new day...positive polly pants on!

We've got this, half way through the day and so far, so good!
I’ve kept Judd home this time as the higher risk and I have said fuck it with the work and being on him all the time. As last time I would come home and spend hours yelling and getting him to do the work. This time around he has highlighted work in his timetable that needs to be uploaded. I’ve told him he needs to have all these done and I’m not worried abojr the other stuff. If he gets those things down in 2 days or so he has more time for himself. It’s been working so far.
ReplyDeleteI think its the way to go, as fighting with them just makes me feel like crap. Since this, I've adapted a 'something is better than nothing' attitude. Thanks heaps for taking time to read, and to comment. Stay safe xo
