And the week is already going downhill faster than a plummeting boulder.
Over run with effing "caring professionals" whose main job appears to be recommending yet more "caring professionals". Why can't they all fuck off and mend potholes or do something useful?
Meeting at The Boy's school yesterday. 15 effing people. We had to move to a biger room to fit them all in. And did anyone say anything useful?
No. cussing:
More of the same today. Banghead

Well ~ we're on your side. (https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freesmileys.org%2Fsmileys%2Fhug008.gif&hash=c266503d92a1f673eb219ee1386894798065c016)
Not that there is much consolation in that I don't suppose.

Oh dear I thought things were improving in that department.
Good luck Nick. Keep your cool.

15 people, 15 different opinions. You're not likely to get anywhere until you cut down the size of the 'committee'

Don't get me started.
Too late. Building up a rather large head of steam on that one, most of it in my bladder. cussing:
Tuition from home an option? rubschin:

TBF about 3 of them are helpful and closely involved, so that's a good combination.The rest are Council Jobsworths (mainly wimmin too) . One new one yesterday (SEN), looking around the room (and the other 14 of us) actually asked if we had contacted Post Adoption Support to see if they could put together a "professional team" to help. The woman from Post Adoption Support was sitting nest to us (one of the goodies)
We just gawped at her!!

Meetings Thursday, Friday and Tuesday and Friday next week.
I sometimes wish we had never done this!!
Boy at home today (tactical) and rocking to the effing Beach Boys!! Banghead

Seems to me the more people get involved the worse things get.
It is well established where the problems stem from, you and Mrs Nick have passed all the requirements to take the job on, all these people are only confusing the matter.
Has anybody asked if The Boy is acting up to get the attention from them all?
Some people enjoy a good "carnival". He is as good as gold when you two are on your own.
School is no longer the rigid structure that it was when I was a boy and against which I certainly kicked hard and often but The Boy does seem to find it hard to integrate with them, even though there are few real rules to break other than a rquirment to work and integrate with others. THW has similar problems in that she is much happier on her own and steadfastly refuses to get involved in "group activities". The school hate her for this stance and the fact that she makes no bones of her feelings that most other pupils and ALL staff are morons.
We have had battle after battle with both her and the school, simply trying to reconcile the two opposite points of view but neither will give. We have, however, become aware that she is actually enjoying the performance she is putting everyone through.
This probably is not the answer for your problems so I'll shut up and say only ~ We ARE on your side.
Oh and the puppies want to know when they'll be seeing him again. scared2:

Thanks Snoopy (and the others too). This is really getting me down, but I am entering a fatalistic phase.
These bastards can be hard to get off your backs once they have latched on.I keep reminding myself that we are grown ups living in a free country and need not be interefered with by govt. jobsworths.
