I appreciate so much y'all dioligong all this with me here.

Today I spent 3.5 hours dealing with her freaking out before she would do her school work.

She has school work to do today because yesterday,they were cutting down a tree a street over and I knew that she would not be able to focus with that noise, even though she hadn't comented appon it during breakfast So when the girls asked to ride bikes I suggested they ride and I walk. We walked over and them watched form 20 min and came home.

At that point I tried to start school ( she has less than 2 hours of work, 3 if she decides she needs to slideout of her seat every few minutes) she completely lost it saying ' I hadn't told her that she would still have to do school' and ' it isn't fair for me to let them do something fun and then expect them to do any sort of work'

After she screamed at me over this for 40min and then stomped in to her room, I told her she could do school Friday after noon and get done with it or she could do school on Saturday with me while Daddy did things with wiggle worm. She proceeded to read in her bed for 6 hours.

This morning when after breakfast I asked her to join me for school work she completely freaked. First she said that she had to do it with Daddy, which was neaver on the table. Then she started screaming that she had things she needed to do first. I calmly reminded her that the issue with doing school yesterday was I let her do something first, so no I was not going to do that today.

She layed in her bed and stairs at the ceiling for 2 hours. I tried to talk to her, about how if the issue was that she wasn't getting time with Daddy then the best way to get time with him was to finish school and then we could all do fun things together. That turned in to about 15 min of her screaming at me and then hideing in her bed randomly screatching at me for 30 min ( every so often I would say ' I can tell you are unhappy, if I can help you let me know) and then she started crying. After 15 of crying when I was sporaticly asking if she would like a huge she finally agreed to that. After a bout 5 min of kind of hugging her on her top bunk she let me carry her to the couch and hold her untill Dh had finished lunch.

We finished with lunch about 30 min ago and she has done half of the school things she needs to do. And actually written a short paragraph, when I told her she could give me a bulit point list, it is honislty the nicest paragraph she has ever written.


I do not understand why she would prefer to spend 3 hours screaming at me and staring at the ceiling than do an hours worth of work. I spend so much more time dealing with her freaking out over something than actually just getting it done.

And now all on her own she just solved her science problem ( how long would it take you to get to a certain spot in space ) useing conversions with proprtionality, which was the thing she fought the absolute hardest over learning last year because they were stupid and she would neaver use them.

Why couldn't we ha e done this yesterday?!!
