Surviving the Domestic Jungle

Well, I am type A personality. That’s just a little confession that may help people understand why I get so stressed out about things. I think I don’t like change…..Anyway, things are getting better at the elementary school. Other than being told I crossed the street wrong, today was decent. I actually met another mom who had the exact same stresses and worry as me! I felt so bonded to her instantly because I completely understood where she was coming from. Our kindergartners helped each other to class and I know both of us felt better about them having a buddy! After speaking with her I realized I am not the only spazz of a mother and that maybe I should do something about it so that the other mothers don’t have to go through all the upset that I have. Maybe I am going “too far” but if another mother had stepped in and told the school their system didn’t work, I wouldn’t have to had all the stress. We always wait for someone else to step in and say something and I am thinking this time I may be that person. I would feel like a whiny baby but I don’t care if something were to change. If information were to be given and I was to save one mom the stress then it would be worth it. All I would ask for is information. They need to type up the dos and dont’s and make parents aware that they need to teach their children where to go. I would even pull for trying to walk the kindergartners to class for the first week but I would understand if for security purposes they didn’t allow it. I just want to be treated like one of the 5 year olds to be honest. I want to be treated like I don’t know anything because I don’t! Ok, when it comes to Kindergarten, I will no longer complain until homework comes home that I am unable to do! Until next week, I will not complain
