Let’s face it. P just can’t cope w Abbie home all day. Sure,she will argue that they have her home during summer vacation,but here’s the thing.
They get to send her to camp for a week? 2 Weeks?
How many parents can afford that for any kid these days?
They have numerous people in and out to be w Abbie so she gets a break. And while I absolutely cannot stand the guy,Asa does the most interacting w Abbie,not her.
And while they boo how today about fun time being cancelled,how many other parents are trying to just get by right now,worrying about someone who is ill,someone who lost a job,etc!
They want to put up videos of the therapies Abbie gets? Great- how about the ones where both mother and father are carrying it on at home?
How about a back to back video such as the speech therapy is. Compared to any today where her progress is basically at a stand still?
How about your wife not doing those incredibly stupid TikToks and a sitting down,engaging w Abbie in sort of tnerapy? The homeschool chit about not knowing how rigorous her mornings are at school? Shame on YOU! You should know everything she does down to every last detail! Why? Because it’s what you should also be working on at home!
It’s not that Abbie rebels against routine- she actually has one..5 days a week! And being who Abbie is,she should have that extended as well on the weekends.
Sure,it’s modified to some degree,but damn it,if you all can be on the phone checking the comments,reading here,doing dumb ass TikToks,asking teachers if at 3:30 they are lounging by the pool w drink in hand,the you damned well have the time to do more w Abbie! BTW,NO,teachers are not at the pool at 3:30! Most are still at school,cleaning up after the kids leave,picking up a hat left behind,etc. They then go home,and if they have families do what needs doing for them. Then,before they get to sit for that hour or maybe 2 they are putting together the plans for the next day,Grading papers,calling parents to discuss their child,and so much more!
As to the teachers at Abbies school- you should count yourself as being damned lucky they let you get away w being late so often! It’s not only a rule,but it’s also a sign of respect and courtesy to the teacher and the other students who do show up on time!
Reality check- the rules are for you and your family as well! And if you want other to learn to be accepting and even tolerant of Abbie,but you certainly DO have to aware of their feelings,etc.
Check Yourself Maas family- if not,there will come a day( and nope,no threat meant nor implied) that someone out there is gonna check you!
