29-Day Giving Challenge

Day 7 - "fighting" for my kid, but keeping kindness in mind

Ahh...the "mom" problems.  Middle son is starting high school this year.  Came across a big conflict in scheduling 2 classes he really wants/needs.  It was presented to us as "just pick which one you want."  I don't think it's that simple and I am asking questions and doing research and "fighting" for my son.  Any of you moms out there know how this becomes intensely personal and potentially volatile! : )  I have a good friend with whom I've been releasing all my crazy tirades to, but when I have been communicating with the guidance counselor, I have remained calm and polite and thanked her each time for her efforts and even told her that I realize we are not the only problem she is dealing with.

I admire that you are able to keep your cool at school....and I hope everything gets smoothed out and he gets the classes he needs! Take care...what a blessing that you have a good friend to vent to!
