Ive just come out of an emotional meeting about Middle Son at his school with his teacher & an independent specialist to discuss his issues. I started crying 3 times, like a twat but Ive come away feeling a sense of relief. My boy isnt stupid he is choosy with what he wants to learn. But he is learning every day. Hes kind, funny & a natural entertainer. Hes not brilliant, hes average. He wont have to repeat another school year. As he did aged 7. This is something that I have huge issues with & must learn to let go of. He will always be challenging over his homework but I am his mother not his teacher & I must not take on this role. His teacher wants to teach him... My job is to support him. The hardest part of today was saying out loud what Ive been feeling for years. I am failing him. But they tell me Im not. I guess I have to let go of this too. I have to move on & just do my best. Coz Im not brilliant either.
