Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 a, First calling your child brat is not going to win brownie points.......duh! I think that is great that Justen is remembering his manners.......ect. It tells me he has had a good base training. The fact that he is still using it is good. I still think his hormones are changing and it has him off balance with his meds somehow. I 'd be willing to bet he will come out of this ok when they find the right combo. Hang in there..........none of this is your fault .........your a great mommy! Stand proud!

I heard a young girl in the store the other day call her misbehaving child a brat. I also believe that what you call them is what you get. I have been beating myself up about Justen wondering if we just expected too much from him, but I had a wonderful talk with his caseworker and therapist and they both said that even now when he is unstable, he still has great manners! He is polite to adults and uses table manners and does his chores plus extra. They said that we didn't expect too much and for now I have to believe them. It does make be proud that he is remembering to use all the things that we taught him even though we aren't there to remind or coach him. Funny how we can cling to the small things sometimes isn't it? Your sounds like a fine young man and you have given him a world that he would not have had. Give yourself a bunch of pats on the back right now okay? a C I totally understand the teacher BS. Last parent / teacher conference I had this idiot English teacher tell me I was Stressing out by expecting him to get B's . Well BOO HOO! My parent's expected A's!!! And if I was stressing ...too darn bad! I could expect A's, but I don't think he is capabale of A's He is capable of B's and it is expected...(and I do get them from him) I just don't get these teachers! So i do understnad! Hang in there. Your a good Mommy and it will pay off! I stil love you! *hugs* Have a great day!
