From here to Eternally Slim

Good point Ef - we'll stick to strawberries in bed!
 
We certainly will if someone drops one. How adhesive ARE strawberries anyway? I would like it noted that I have made absolutely NO smutty cream references. It took willpower.
 
Im fighting it.........wahhhhhh.....its sooooo hard to be good!
 
Sorry Pesty. *ashamed look*. Wont do it again Pesty. Sorry Pesty.

I have painted one coat of bathroom wall. Now I have to go pick the kids up looking like a scruffy mushy pea.

I would take you with me but I flattened my phone battery changing songs from the bathroom. Had a good singalong to Pink though!
 
Ohhh take us in your pocket MLM .....please!!!
 
As it happens, a quick 10 minute charge allowed that to happen!! You are in fact now with me in the playground. People are staring at the strange mushypea sitting on the bench. I am trying to resist starting a fight with a spiteful little four year old. I would win. It wouldn't be pretty. How can children of that age have learnt to be unpleasant already??
 
Soooo many - rude, mannerless, spoilt little urchins!!!
My moneys on you to win :)
 
Home again now! That little girl is HORRIBLE. She has a friend who she completely dominates, and wont allow to play with anyone else. My little girl was trying to run around with a group of them who were all just running around in circles, and Horrible Child saw her, stopped, turned round to her and went "YOURE NOT PLAYING".

I fear that this is what I can expect for the future for her though. Shes being referred to the paediatrician (my daughter, not horrible child) under the "suspected social communication difficulties" heading. I have been here before with my son, who was diagnosed with Aspergers aged 6, and it is heartbreaking when you pass the playground at lunch or playtime and see your child being the one who is wandering alone round the edge of the playground because no-one wants to play with them...
 
Awww MLM ((hugs)) that is horrible!!

My 10 year old brother was a victim of bullying - some children are disgusting as to how they treat others!! I have more than once considered what the penatly would be if i knock the poo out of them!!! lol

I think it happens to all children at one stage or another, i dont know anyone that doesnt remember being left out at some stage. Im sure with all your love your little girl will be happy enough not hanging around with little sh*ts!!

My brother is now friends with younger children (7-9) they look up to him bcuz he's older and he just enjoys playing with them and being a good role model!!

PS - no apologies needed! You lot seriously crack me up! It helps to lighten me up when im having a boredom day stuck in the office!

xxxxxx
 
Well i see you slapped yourself out of it prior to my reply!! haha

I wish i could poo before WI!!! I can only go twice a week at most! HUMPF! I have to drink some lactose stuff from the doc but it dont help much! TMI?? xx

Hi sorry totally off topic but I can't pm you. My DS is 6 and the teachers have said that he often just plays with himself in the playground (not like that you rude girls). I had questioned him about it but he said taht he jsut wanted to play his game and the others didn't and he didn't seem taht bothered about it. But now you have got me worried that he may have Aspergers:eek:
 
MLM.. I do understand how you must feel, my daughter was diagnosed with Fanconi Syndrome, which entailed whilst undergoing so many tests in gt Ormand Street, developmental delay and lacked social and physical skills. Started off in a special needs nursery, walked with the aid of a frame til the age of 5.. then went onto primary with SEN support teacher 5 hours a day, then onto Secondary school.. all this time she was different, looked different and acted different. but she made friends and what really helped was talking to a teacher (whilst in every school) and asking for someone to buddy up with her.. This worked and although she didn't have lots of friends or was any good at sports, she got through school, and onto college too. She has her difficulties but she works twice as hard to get through them and she astounds me now with what she has achieved. I was told by Doc's that she wouldnt be able to live independently, well.. she does and she has.. so do get the Head of the school to get someone to buddy her, if really does work.

I work with challenging teens and some of those Young People have aspergers and ADHD, its a difference but I adapt the way I work with those Young People so they get the benefits that all their friends get too, with a little work they achieve the same as well.

Kids can be really horrible, but in all honesty, they don't quite understand at that age what they are doing to other children, no excuse for it.. but it could educational for the teachers to chat to them about it anyway. Never too young to learn. x

On a different note, went to Romford and walked all of my 6000 steps needed today and a few more, plus got some tankin tops from Debenhams in the sale and in Sainsbury as well. Great bargains and burned some cals to boot :)

It takes a lot more "issues" than simply being happy in his own company before they would consider a diagnosis like that, so please do not panic. My son was always happier in adult company, but also has physical problems with planning and co-ordination, would be obsessive about games or hobbies, wasnt interested in toys particularly, unless they related to his obsessions, had food issues, would only eat about three different meals, and would gag on certain food textures, would talk endlessly about the things that interested him without being able to recognise when he was talking to a disinterested audience. He would interpret things said to him in literal terms, and didnt understand subtle inflections in conversation and hidden meanings. If you didnt say something to him in very straight forward terms, you could really worry or confuse him. FE, he didnt understand sarcasm. He would always want to follow the same path home and didnt cope at all well with changes to routine or planned events.

We ended up home educating him for a long time, because he became school phobic, (long story) but fortunately he eventually got his confidence back and returned to school, but then got bullied and fell out of school again. Finally we found a much more supportive school where he was happy, and he got good GCSE results and is now doing A-Levels. Considering how disrupted his education was, this is remarkable in itself.

So please do not start worrying that your son has problems, when really, he is just at the moment, happy in his own company and independent in his play! I am happy to discuss this further with you, but please remember that I am only a parent, not a medical professional, and that Aspergers and other social communication difficulties are only identified by thorough investigation and assessment by a team of experts, including physios, educational psychologists, speech therapists and paediatricians.

Wow, you sound like you went through the mill a fair bit too. I have never heard of Fanconi Syndrome, I shall look that up when I finish posting.

The school are aware that Jessie has problems, she recently had a course of speech therapy because she has trouble with K and T pronunciation, in that she says any K works with a T instead, she finds it hard to use letters that evolve from the back of the mouth, and they were instrumental in the paediatrics referral. She also regularly sees a physiotherapist, she is incredibly clumsy and has no sense of fear, so bounces off the furniture ALL the time. It is a good job that she is known to the medical services because to look at her, she looks like she's been battered, half the time, she is ALWAYS covered in big bruises on her legs. She has an unsteady gait in her walk, she is weak in the abdominal muscles, and is very flatfooted, which doesnt help matters. She was remarkably late walking and potty training, we only JUST got her toilet trained in the last couple of months, and she turned 4 last week.

I have thought right from shortly after she was born that we would end up with some sort of similar diagnosis with her that we got for my son, because she is like a minature female version of him. The only difference is that she perhaps interacts a bit better with kids than he did, because she has a sister at home and learns from her. But even at this age, kids are starting to react to her, like they did to him, and it is ringing more alarm bells.

The pre-school have been great, and they have communicated with the health services and with her teacher for next year, and things will continue to progress. We see the paediatrician for an outpatients appointment in mid august and will go from there. I am sure she will be well supported, certainly in the infants school, I just have to hope that things have changed in the junior school because it was them that caused all the problems for my son and ended up destroying him emotionally. The old headteacher is gone from there now though, so maybe things will have changed. He was HORRIBLE. He kept a cane in his office, never used it (afaik), but to even keep it there was a veiled threat, IMO.
