Parenting School Update.

I'm alone. It's so quiet it's unnerving. I can hear the clock tick.  I'm trying to get some work done, but my brand-new Shark steam mop is beckoning to me pick me up.  Luckily, I can always resist the urge to clean (side note, the Shark steam mop is the best invention ever, I love that thing).

I've been attending kindergarten for parents with Ross and Meg, so far I've found it highly ineffective; Freya has rebuked napping altogether, even when I follow their "program".  I also don't like how Ross and Meg won't take anything I say into account.  If I say "oh, she likes to have milk before her nap" they come back with "no Leigh, if that's what you've been doing were going to do the opposite". Huh?  

What is also troubling, is Freya's newest hobby; kicking the shit out of Stella. Yesterday the two of them were brawling over a toy.  It got incredibly loud and ended with Stella crying, saying Freya hurt her, and Freya sitting with the toy smiling.  Meg was LAUGHING the whole time.  That's sadistic.  What is wrong with her? And why should I be attending parenting classes when she's allowing my daughters to wrestle for her own amusement? I can't rule-out that she didn't set it up. (I wasn't there at the inception of the wrestling I was busy making a healthy lunch for that wench).

I'm close to dropping out, but I'm desperate, and no one in my family is offering to take Freya for another round of sleep camp; my own mother doesn't even come over-she always goes to Meg's house-the house of least resistance I call it (I will tell that story another day).  Between Freya, parenting school, and being out-smarted by Jax, I'm feeling very dull mentally.

I'm going to put Ross and Meg on the spot and ask for a syllabus. I need to know what they have planned.

Cheers, cheers
