I am T I R E D

Just want to preface that I am not in danger, NK has no access to weapons (nor are there any firearms in the house), they are autistic and heavily script about 80% of the time. They must’ve picked this up from a movie or from classmates. They do not need a psych evaluation, CPS does not need to be called, and I do not need to quit. I’m just venting lmao

NK5’s new way of communicating that they are angry/upset is by saying “I’m going to shoot you” any time we (me + parents) say something they don’t like. Kindergarten has been a very difficult adjustment, so we’re seeing major regression with potty training, and they are always overstimulated when the school day ends. (It doesn’t help that pick up is so chaotic for the students who walk home. Hundreds of kids flock to their parents/caregivers in an open field and we all walk home together. It’s unbelievably loud.)

We have to change your underwear with a big turd in it? “ I’ll shoot you!”

The sun is too bright? “I’ll shoot you!”

There’s no more crackers? “I’ll shoot you!”

Ughhgugutuhhfhghfjufhfufuhfhhghghgghgh the burnout is so bad this week. We are working on developing better coping skills and adjusting in general but I am so fucking sick of hearing this day in and day out. Like why am I beefing with a kindergartener right now
