Mate, two Fridays ago we were late for school (I’m blaming DH for not winding the clock in the lounge room, it was getting slower and slower and I didn’t notice). We got there after lines and they were all in the classroom sitting down and doing their work. I was mortified. Then Friday last week I sent DS1 in his normal school uniform, I should have sent him in his sports uniform. Mortified again. Today was the first Friday I’ve got right!

Your DS is resilient, and independent, and confident, and extremely intelligent. I think you’re doing a fabulous job. Just like me! PMSL. I know how you feel though, I cried (a bit later, in the car) when we were late and then about him being in the wrong uniform. But he was fine, just like your DS.
