My boys and their drama

So my son turned 9 on Monday and we had a really nice family party for him.  We figured since money was a bit tight this year that we would go ahead and do something just with the family. So we all went to John’s Incredible pizza in Riverside.  It was my dad, sister, brother in law, nephew, etc.  It was a really nice time. I was really happy about the way it turned out cause I felt bad.

My oldest son is in 4th grade and he seems to be going through something lately.  He implies all the time that kids don’t like him at school and that he has no friends. It stinks because I know it’s just a phase, but I feel bad cause no one should be sitting by themselves or not having any friends.

So Tris got a ipod for his birthday and my dad seems to think that we are making our kids grow up so fast. Like why does he already have an ipod. It stinks cause all the kids at school seem to have one and even some have cell phones. I know at 9 but I’m getting off the topic. So the rule of taking the ipod to school is that he keeps his grades up. He has been having some trouble with the 4th grade transition.

So he got an F on his Math test and then his ipod got taken away. We have been having trouble with lots of stuff for him.  He wont do this or he won’t do that or he can’t or whatever. Anyhow, that’s enough of him and in the same note Zach my youngest we had a conference for him.

Oh my son is brilliant he just can’t focus on anything apparently. So there is one kid who just refuses to do anything and the other who can’t cause he has ADHD. Not really but you know what I mean. I’m just kind of at my wits end.  And the low and behold my son gets a 100% on a test that he normally would F.

Help I’ve taken away everything, but it’s just hard ya know.
