Well it happened again last night, a big blowout, emotional outburst.
She was great after daycare (I think because she ate a snack she liked and alot of it.) A little moody before eating, but overall did pretty good...Until Dad got home right at bedtime! I can't wait until our appt next week with the therapist to see what she thinks the problem and/or solution is. I think I would take her out of school before putting up with this everynight. She's only going to Kindergarten and I know she knows already what she needs to know to pass it. We also have this new charter school by my work (not in our town) that I think would be great for her too, but my husband wants to try the public home town one first because of "friendship". I tried telling him she can make good friends there too. Any opions out there about charter schools? This is a brand new one and goes all year except for about 6 weeks in the summer time. Some days I think "Man this is so frustrating, but I know we can do this." and more other days I think "I'm going to go crazy and/or runaway and just leave her behind." I love her so much, but I've really started noticing that I don't like her very much anymore and I sometimes look at her as someone elses child I have to care for. Then my husband will start w/his behavior and I don't think my brain (can't spell pyscie) can take it. I've noticed lately I've started to zone into the tv and not listen to people in my house or even care. I'm already on antidepressants, thank god.
I think your husband is looking towards the future and the socializing your daughter will be doing. It is much easier if her friends are in the same neighborhood, especially when she is old enough to navigate on her own or for parents to pick up kids for a play date. Friends nearby do make a difference as far as the boredom factor. The more who live near, the more likely it will be for her to find someone, anyone to play with.
Is your daughter getting enough rest? My son will get wild if he gets over tired. If she is well rested, maybe she needs some attention from Daddy before she goes to bed. She doesn't see him all day and then has to go to bed when he gets home.
i think you and your daughter need rest.. do something to treat yourself, something you wouldn't normally do.. you need to help yourself in order to help her..
