"Last month, we had a first - David got in trouble at school. He just wasn&amp;#039;t focusing that day, and actually copped an attitude with his aide (whom he normally adores). We addressed that and the next day he was back to being Mr. Congeniality, and since then we&amp;#039;ve been rolling along just fine. Until yesterday, that is, He decided to repeatedly interrupt another child during their reading group, refused to stop when asked, pounded on the table with markers out of anger, and argued with the learning support teacher when she told him to return to class. His teacher made it very clear that she has never seen anything like this out of him before, and she was shocked. Growing pains. He&amp;#039;s pushing his envelope now, which is a good sign developmentally, but not a good thing overall. He&amp;#039;s also been on edge more than a bit lately because his sister has quite frankly been a holy terror at home for the better part of a week. Puberty hormones are hitting her hard, and she&amp;#039;s been screeching, acting out, and torturing her brother every time my back is turned. I&amp;#039;ve reigned her in by taking away priviledges away and enforcing isolation, but it&amp;#039;s been a rough week, let me tell you. I feel like he&amp;#039;s feeling the fallout of all of that, and I started to detail that all out in my email to his teacher - which I was cc&amp;#039;ing to Peter - and then I stopped myself. Instead, I detailed out my talk with David, actions that were taken on my end, and asked to be updated on his progress (which was great today - hooray!). Then I made a telephone call and filled in the teacher on the rest. I didn&amp;#039;t want Peter seeing what a trial I&amp;#039;m having with Anna right now. Mainly because it&amp;#039;s between her and me, and also because anytime I do mention her or her brother acting out, he tells me that he hasn&amp;#039;t had any problems with the kids when they&amp;#039;re on his watch. I just don&amp;#039;t want to hear it - especially since I&amp;#039;ve heard from Anna that it isn&amp;#039;t like that anymore than it is at my house. I feel like I&amp;#039;m leaving him out of the loop. Like he should want to know everything that is or could be affecting his kids. It&amp;#039;s a real war to deliberately not talk about stuff because I&amp;#039;d want to know all that and then some. Still, he doesn&amp;#039;t need to know all the dirty laundry, if it&amp;#039;s not of a serious level. But where do you decide that cutoff is? Did you find it hard to decide what to tell or not tell? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
