Here's to the end of a pretty ordinary week. Mr P had to give bone marrow sample and has had appointment at Peter Mac. We're waiting to find out if he has blood cancer, leukaemia or whatever they call it now. Elder minipeeler is still having major issues with anxiety and school refusal. My MIL offered to pay for him to go to a private school she thinks would be better for him.. would've been nice to offer that last year, when I was having to enrol him in the only (really big) public school in our catchment and I was saying that I didn't have a good feeling about it, that I felt that there'd be problems for him given the issues he'd had in the past, but had no choice financially. I was equally anxious and bummed out about it and she knew that back then. Now she wants to sweep in with her money and save the day, by uprooting him and plonking him into a new school‽ I feel bad for being ungrateful. Miniest is going through a very testing rebellious and wilful stage. I'm trying to give her as much of myself as I can and my patience, as she is jealous of Elder and her dad being home all the time, which is perfectly understandable. She is academically gifted but puts in a bare minimum of effort and is wasting her awesome potential and it's hugely frustrating, but she doesn't give a shit. I am feeling older and more tired in my body and it's depressing. I've been bingeing dystopian shows on Netflix and find them comfortingly awful. I gave up on the "comedy" category.. maybe Americans just laugh at different stuff, but I found little humour there. Thankyou for reading my grumbles.
