So we had a sibling visit last weekend. It was the first time my boys have seen their sister in 4 or 5yrs. So far, Noah, the one I'd expect to have behavior issues in the aftermath, is doing great and I couldn't be more proud of him. I mean he has come so far. But lord help me, my youngest has lost his damn mind!!! We've always struggled with him and his behavior at school but this time it's like there's nothing we can do to get him to stop. He has been terrible at school all week, extra terrible today, and then when I went to get him from Boys Club this evening after work, he had a 1-day suspension for typing the 'F' word on the computer and showing it to other kids. The child is already grounded until his behavior improves but he doesn't seem to mind at all. I told him tonight that it didn't matter how bad he behaved, he wasn't going anywhere, and he cried, but I'm afraid that now he will see me saying that as a challenge to try harder to get kicked out! Ugh!! I'm trying my hardest to draw close to him because I know he needs my support, but MAN IT'S HARD to want to keep it up. Like I've said before, no one wants to hug a porcupine. Please pray for us, this is really tough.
