I am a bad Mom. The truth hurts I'm telling you. However, the truth is... my son doesn't really like kindergarten. I'm having a really hard time with him not really doing that well. Its literally only been a month and yet, here you go, I'm already disappointed. I hate that I was able to do things and I can REMEMBER doing them and he cant do ANY of them.
Its almost like he has no interest at all in doing schoolwork. He says he just wants to go back to camp, which he loved.
I'm writing this tonite because he cried tonite. He cried to me for at least 30 minutes about no one wanting to be his friend at school. I mean he got CHOKED UP!! I was so mad just sitting there listening to it. So I ask him 'Why not baby? Did those mean evil, horrible, terribly raised children not see how incredibly amazing you are?" Well...something like that anyhow. He says they told him he didn't have the right shirt and they already had friends.
I'm having a very very hard time with this. This is my one and only baby and this BS about school has already had me frustrated beyond belief. My baby cannot grasp that school is for learning and not just playing. So you add this whole no friends dynamic and school has officially become a place he has no interest in going to.
Great so I have a possible Kindergarten Drop-out on my hands. I mean are you kidding me? My mother says its my fault. HAH!! I love that. I love that somehow this is my fault. Apparently, my lack of love for the school my child is currently attending has been incorporated in my son's psyche and he's channeling my dislike for the politics and problems of public school. Pretty impressive for a 5 year old right? I certainly thought so.
Well, I just wanted to vent for a minute. Hopefully my baby is happier tomorrow. His birthday is Wednesday and so this week, his Birthday Week, should be amazing. Keep your fingers crossed.
