ScoutTN Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 (edited) Despite the darker mornings, spring is making inroads rapidly here. The birds are loud! I can hear the male cardinal when the a/c or heat on and the doors closed. My maple trees have whirlybirds. The crabapple and redbud trees are lovely. Green everywhere, instead of brown. The blue birds have eggs, I think.

ScoutTN Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Afternoon student cancelled; I still get paid. Tart was good, but needs to cook longer because I used a ceramic pan, not a metal one. Headed out for milk shortly. Will listen to the podcast as I drive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Good afternoon! I'm still processing the fact that my 14yo attempted to beat the tar out of his teammate during practice last night. The kid ran his mouth often, ds had enough of being the target. So.........*sigh* We're working out a plan today. It is an unusual situation, in which no one who was there is feeling sorry for the kid that ds laid on the ice. Up next: parent teacher conferences. Laundry is in the wash. Dinner is BLTs and leftovers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Ugh, sorry for the awkward hockey situation. But it sounds like a bully got what was coming to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...we found out more. He has been insinuating and straight out saying ds was trans for a while now, as he's grown his hair. Not in a "hey, that's cool" kind of way, but a misogynistic crude sort of way that not only negated who he was, but also any competent girl on the ice. And ds looks like the poster Victorian child with long cherubic ringlets and big eyes. DS is not trans. He just got tired of the homophobic/anti-trans rhetoric directed at him and snapped. I'm okay with focusing on the aspect of "team practice was disrupted and that was disrespectful to your coaches." and not giving empathy to the kid that he pummeled. I'd be glad to explain that to the other kid's parents, too. It explains why ds didn't ever want to wear his team jacket. That kid's parents paid for them all. But we're working on trust issues again and how to deal with big feelings and bad situations. Parent teacher conferences went well. Very speedy: "not living up to his potential, has a tendency to rush through his work, but is very bright, animated during discussions, and keeps himself out of the drama." (I nearly snorted at the last part) The rest? I definitely knew. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Forgot to get the prescriptions. Waiting for ds to text that they are at or almost at school, so I can pick him up. The lacrosse game was in town, so hopefully back soon. I am tired! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Got my boy. His team lost again. They really have no chance of winning any games at all, but not telling him that. Not sure the team will even make next year bc several boys are changing schools. But for now, I am glad he has vigorous exercise 5 days a week and the comradeship of a team. This kid thrives with structure and physical challenges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
