Yesterday we saw the child psychologist to review results from tests administered to s9 for potential adhd diagnosis. She recemmends that s9 not regularly see her because of his guarded responses and that we meet with her instead, which I think makes a lot of sense. I'm sensing that the psychologist is beginning to see that s9 is pretty normal and needs more consistent boundaries, etc.
We're starting to see tangible progress in how my son approaches and reacts to things due, in part, to structure implemented at home.
S9's new teacher is also helping a lot with organization and completion of school/home work. S9 seems to be owning these responsibilities more. I don't have to hold his hand as much in finishing home work.
My W has been working a lot of nights. Two different restaurants. This is a woman with an MBA and tons of business experience. She arrived home last night after midnight - usually gets home at 10:30. Said something this morning about one of the restaurant managers being uptight. I didn't respond and didn't say anything about her late arrival. Should I be engaging when she says something or pretend to not GAS?
My boys climbed into bed with me this morning. The first thing s9 says is why can't Mommy sleep upstairs. They still have no clue what is actually going down. I am wondering whether it's fair to not tell them until we know when one of us is actually moving out. I don't see that happening for months.
