He was already dressed in full winter wear. I rushed him to the bathroom and he tried but it wasn't coming that quickly. Knowing if I gave him a ride on that day I would be in trouble the next day.... I threw him on the bus and told him to try again when he got to school. When he got to school he was upset and his tummy hurt. He had not tried to go to the bathroom again. I went into the school got him to go to the bathroom and off to school. I did NOT however have a fight to get him on the bus the next day. Which I easily could have if I had given him a ride in the first place. Plus hubby was gone and couldn't just drop him on the way to work... oh well - life of a mom!Just Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09842126422147340390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807139376983917330.post-11354799210343273832009-01-12T11:09:00.000-06:002009-01-12T11:09:00.000-06:00Some times you have to do it the opposite way and ...Some times you have to do it the opposite way and let them stay home, in bed and if they are better by 9:00 and don't seem sick, then take them to school. That way, they won't fake it ( if that is what they are doing) as they know they will be going to school if they are not sick. and you won't expose all the other kids on the bus or in his class. It is hard but I found that this worked for me better with no crying on either part.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807139376983917330.post-42070276500205906282009-01-07T13:00:00.000-06:002009-01-07T13:00:00.000-06:00Wow!
