So today I pick up S4 from daycare and guy who has been watching his class for last 2 years calls me over and asks what's up with my little man. I ask him why he asks and he said since coming back from break he hasn't been same kid and today he was way out of character and had selective hearing. I asked a few more questions then I told him about D and he said that makes more sense. No teacher or daycare person has ever had a bad word to say about S4. It's always how great a kid he is and a leader in the pack... So I text W to let her know what they said and she calls back a couple hours later. I really didn't want to discuss it because she has convinced herself kids are fine (she hasn't had to deal with any of the tears or crying) and we are on opposite sides of this topic. I told her word for word what they said and she erupted saying they don't know what they're talking about and she knew this is what I would think. I told her we would have to agree to disagree and she kept going saying S4 just has ADD. This ticked me off and I let her know it. I told her she can justify it anyway she wants in her head to make things easier for her but don't ignore what's happening with kids. I asked her if it made sense he just got ADD in last 2 weeks and asked her if a kid with ADD can play with toys or watch a movie or TV show for hours if we let him.
If she continues to act like this towards the kids we may have some real issues. I'm sure I didn't DB at all but she can't stick her head in the sand with the kids. I didn't have heart to tell her that S4 asked me if we were still getting a D on way home from daycare. He then started crying later tonight at dinner and snuggled up against me. It makes me so sad! He knows he's hurting but he can't verbalize why.
