This has been the hardest 4 years of parenting I have EVER had to do. I keep thinking it's going to get better, but it doesn't. I am exhausted with trying different methods of parenting. Love. Grace. Consequences. Separation.
I wish I would have been journaling these past 4 years, but hopefully I can do better. I have to put this in writing to try to keep a log of her behaviors so maybe one day we can make sense of it.
She has been in TROUBLE a lot, a lot, a lot lately. I have tried being super loving these past couple weeks. Laying in bed with her talking to her, cuddling with her. The nicer I get, the worse her behavior becomes. It makes NO sense to me.
Last week, she got in trouble at school and was supposed to bring a behavior report home. She threw it away. Her teacher, Becky Clark, contacted me via email. Correspondence and report below.

I
am so sorry! Thank you for alerting me. I really like this Behavior
Report system because last year Brianna would intentionally not bring
her planner home or take out or scribble out the notes so I would not
see them.
I have been meaning to get with you to see if she
has been doing any better with the crying when she has to redo things. I
have been asking her about it and she has told me that she hasn't been
doing it anymore, but I wanted to double check with you.
Thanks!
Marci

Oh,
just realized you said this was sent YESTERDAY. No, I did not receive
it. It is hard telling what she did with it. She did this last year
too. You will probably have to email me the notes. :(

Marci,
Brianna
told me she gave you the note yesterday and she was sent to her room
until the babysitter came. That was quite a detailed lie (very
creative).
In the future I will send an email as well as the
note in the planner. I just like the idea of them bringing it to you and
getting it signed. I think it reinforces them owning their mistake.
To
answer your question about Brianna crying- she has not had one problem
with tears in quite a while. That shows a lot of improvement for her in
that area!!
Thank you for your email. I will
print the note and send it home again in the planner. I will let her
know you will be looking for it.
Blessings,
Becky Clark

Wow!
Nope, she did get sent to her room after school for a bit because her
and Cooper were fighting and I was on the phone and I sent them both to
their rooms, but it had nothing to do with the note that I never
received. I like the idea of them bringing the note home too, other
than the fact that Brianna has a problem with giving them to me.
I am glad she has improved in the crying area. :)
It is so frustrating and embarrassing when your child is acting this way in school. Bold face lying to her teacher. She was given a chance to bring it home again and she threw it in the trash AGAIN the next day!!!!
