Hiya DaleGood morning Sara
Happy Friday to you
Aw Joey!
Been missing you![]()
Wonder what’s going on at school to make her be like that or was she always that way?Hiya Dale
I miss you ladies alsoWork and my daughter are making me nuts. She does not want to go to school, she has missed more days than she has gone. Work takes up way to much of my time with 12 hr shifts with no end in sight anytime soon. I am worn out, we are so short handed at work because they can not get anyone to come in to apply for a job.
Guess you’re ready for the weekendGood evening Dale and Joey
I’m sorry, Joey. I can’t imagine what you are going through. Has she said why she doesn’t want to go?
I hate that you guys are short staffed.![]()

Good morning Dale and SaraGood morning Dale and lurkers
Yeah we were just talking about this at dinner, how no one wants to work and companies being short staffed or smaller ones having to close. It’s ridiculous. Too many handouts for too long and I’m sure there are some who are simply afraid of the virus and not wanting to be in public. Though I suspect a majority is the first reason.
Maybe she doesn't like the kind of mask she’s wearing. Have you tried different ones? Kiddo doesn’t like the “surgical” ones, that I wear. His cloth have adjustable ear loops. He also has a couple sports ones that he wears for gym/soccer. But those are a little pricier. I will say those ear loops are the softest and there is good space between face and mask. I will look for pics.
Definitely ready for the weekend, Dale.Guess I was tired, I slept 9:30-7:30. Your dinner looked great! Green beans and carrots. Yum! Better get a move on, lots to do.

She has many masks she picked out so I don't know, she doesn't talk about anything with anyone so again I don't know. I have tried just about everything so far and not really getting any results except my stress levels increased. She doesn't want to be home schooled either, leaves me with not many options. If she takes anymore days off I will have to pull her out of school to avoid having the police and child service problems. I may have to change my job soon if I have to pull her out of school.Uggg Joey. Tell her that yes, it does stink that masks are required right now but it’s non negotiable. Have her go through the masks she does have and pick out the ones she hates the least, then see about getting more of those. Same with school, it’s non negotiable. She has to go, every day, no ifs ands or butts.
I know she’s having a rough go and I’m so sorry for that. Children shouldn’t lose a parent this young. You have a lot on your plate and this only makes it harder. We want the best for our kids. Does she have someone she can talk to, therapist wise? Maybe your pedi can suggest someone. We did it over the phone last year - because of covid - with kiddo. He is an anxious kid at times. Would get himself all worked up to the point of tummy issues. It was nice doing it over the phone and not having to worry about getting him to appointments. She gave him some exercises to do when he felt the anxiety creeping up and it seemed to work for him.
If I’m overstepping feel free to tell me to myob(((hugs)))
Joey you can’t let your daughter run thingsShe has many masks she picked out so I don't know, she doesn't talk about anything with anyone so again I don't know.
