Sounds like what boys at that age do when angry or hurt & are helpless to fix things.

He can't re- paint the door at his age. Maybe he should give money to the school to fix the door? If he has $12 he has been saving to buy something, then most or all of it? He should present it to the principle himself ( call first, of course).

Maybe he can talk with the school counselor?

Also, is there anyway to wear him out more? Activity? I find that boys with lots of physical activity are too tired, even at school, to bother with the sneakiness, planning, etc to pull stuff off. I think the exercise makes them happier, too.

He is going to be working with the custodian today to wash the doors. He swims and does gymnastics 2x a week, then on the off days, I take them out for walks, bikerides, trips to the park, etc... Usually by the end of the day he's falling asleep in the car. He's in bed between 730-8pm every night, so sleep isn't an issue either. I proposed to Jesse today that we change his custody schedule so that he's at one house more often to be more consistant. right now it's 2 days at my house, 2 days at Jesse's and we split every other weekend. I think that it's hard for him bc he has no idea where he's going every day. He told me that he wants to stay with me and not daddy, but I can't talk to Jesse about that. I don't have a good feeling that Jesse will be accomidating, but I'm praying really hard that he will keep an open mind... He will think I'm trying to take Max away from him. Grrrr :(

I thought about the school councelor too. I'll email his teacher right now about it. Thanks!

It might be easier if they stayed longer, but maybe he needs a calendar? Even just print it off the Internet or draw it with big squares & put it in a notebook. Split the squares in half ( morning & school half...afternoon/ evening half). D for dad in the morning, cause he is waking up there, M in the afternoon cause he is going home to Moms. The word swim or a picture of pool for swimming afternoons, etc. A hot green highlighter to cross thru the day at bed time. Mine liked that at that age to keep track of is this a soccer day or a Tae Kwon Do day? I printed little pictures off the Internet & shrank them small then glued on the day.

Or when J was in high school, he just took a notebook and wrote a date on each page & what activity he had & time each day. Then he added homework, etc. you could just have each be a day with wake up at the top & sleep at the bottom.

That's a good idea. I'll try it. I have them both every day after school, even if it's not overnight. It's really hard to pick him up, and the first thing out of his mouth is "who's house are we sleeping at tonight?" and if I tell him "mine" he says, "Yay!" If I say "daddy's", he gets upset. He told me a few weeks ago when I asked how he liked spending 1/2 the time with me and 1/2 the time w daddy that he hates it and he wants to live with me all the time. Madeleine, on the other hand likes the 50/50 split. I'm praying so hard that he'll agree to trying a new schedule for a few weeks. Praying soooo hard!!!

Last I checked, a Catholic getting divorced was only a controversial subject to Catholics......

:)

Therefore I have no strong opinions and was kinda hoping for something we could all get in a nice, stimulating argument about! Like what brand of laptop to buy! Or whether Lady Gaga was born a man!

I seem to recall that the then-Catholic King Henry VIII of England wanted a divorce from his first wife (he had six). Got right messy, that. Excommunications, interdiction, confiscation of Church property...

Methinks this will be less traumatic.

Rachel, you are doing the right thing, even if the Church says you are not. Be strong, move forward, and recapture your life. :wub:

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
