Today is one of those days.
You know, the day when you feel like the absolute worst parent in the world because you actually considered selling your child to the gypsies or trading one on the black market.
I can honestly say, this is one of my worst days as a mom.

Today, we removed a bedroom door and took away privacy.
Tomorrow, we will be removing the desk and other miscellaneous items leaving only the clothes in the closet, the dresser and the bed behind in addition to a lamp for reading before bed.
We will be emailing teachers daily, addressing listening and attitude issues.
I am at my wits end.
So is the Alex.

Until we see a vast improvement in school work, responsibility, listening and attitude this is how things will remain in our home.
Call it tough love, shitty parenting or whatever you like.
This is our last resort and I hate that it had to come to this.
