Well done on getting this far, Iris. Its not easy watching children find their way, and trying to be supportive, while they get antsy at you for breathing. But like linds says, it may not be a bad choice for her, and all you can do is jog along the sidelines being as calm and reassuring as you can manage and hope for best. Teen was up till 6am last night, prob stressing a bit, but also really making sure she’d be in no fit state to make Spanish, which she knows she ought to make but is a sensory overload. She is fine to go out this eve though. Im not best pleased, there will be words, and she will feel very injured. Cant wait.

Hugs.
Poor cuthbert is struggling to know what to do with his grief. He's really missing his granny and seems worried about me (I'm fine but he's not seen me upset properly before). I'm reassuring him I'm fine and upset is normal but it's hard.
Cedd is just cracking on of course. Because that's what he does.

That's so tough. The grief of my children was the worse thing at my Dad's funeral

Cedd is going to be a bearer. It seems right and he's willing

That's nice. We only decided on the morning and I'm still not sure we got it right

My two were bearers for my dad, along with their two cousins (irreverent aside - my two are both about 5ft6, their cousins are about 6ft6, it worked but there was a definite slope to the coffin  ). My youngest wasn't 100% sure so we'd arranged for one of my cousins to be on standby and ready to step in if when it came to it son wasn't ready. That gave him confidence and he was fine. I think it meant a lot to all four of them

Y7 school report.
Of course one can't compare notes with the other parents, in case your child is scored better than theirs.
Consultation evening on Thursday. I'd like to think we'd have been told if there was a problem, but that didn't happen at primary.
Also
"It's tiring going to school and being a fake you so people like you". "They tell you to just be yourself then people will like you, but it's not true, they just think you're weird".
I told him he just hasn't found his tribe yet.

They dont mean it when they say “make yourself at home” either.
Nonetheless school creates a lot of temporary alliances from mutual boredom, interest and distress, and like work, some of them stick and become genuine friendships, and some at least pass the time. And getting on with people you have to is a life skill. Child only started to genuinely prefer the company of her peers to adults around 11 x
