I think today was our worst Monday ever. Mister B has been an absolute bear today. Everything is hard, everything is a reason for dramatic blow ups, everything is just awful with his world.
It took 40 minutes to complete his math and then he made 5 careless mistakes. Which he then had to do over. Not happy. Grammar went okay. History was smooth. Then came science. Today we did an experiment on mixes. Oil and water, oil and oil, water and ammonia, etc., and how soap cuts through oil. The mixing portion went fine. Then came the end. The last question: How does soap work? You would have thought it asked how a nuclear reactor works. He knew the answer but could not wrap his head around it. Tears, anger, frustration. Thankfully dad was home and came in and helped. We took a little break and then tried again. Finally, the light bulb moment came.
Off to swim and gym we go. Relatively smooth. Except for his having to switch lanes. Life is so unfair. Gym was mostly problem free.
It was a difficult day for him. Growing up is just so dang hard. I wish there was a way for me to make all the hurting go away. At least Little Miss had a fine day.
As I told Mister B, tomorrow is another day.
