[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your DH is the one insisting on that private school, let him deal with getting her there on time and answering the calls from school if she takes her belt off.

But usually even strict private schools cut the K's a little slack with the uniform. There are the rules as written in the handbook, and there's what actually happens in the classroom. The littlest kids don't usually get in trouble for doing what kids do to their clothes.[/quote]

Then why have rules in the handbook?

DH is gone most of the time. This falls to me.[/quote]

Ah, so you don't actually want advice or to fix things, you just want to bitch and moan about how terrible it is that your child has to attend school on time and wear a uniform.  Well, good luck with the school year![/quote]

So you give bad advice then blame me for not taking it? Weird. I'm glad your spouse is around.[/quote]

There's someone weird on this thread, and it isn't the PP.  People have tried to give you advice and reassure you, and you are just digging in your heels and frankly, being a bitch about it (the PP had no way of knowing that your husband is absentee).  Look, no one is going to agree with you that expecting kids to be on time to school and wear a uniform is unreasonable or draconian or worthy of the stress and anxiety it is causing you.  It's just not.  Your unhappiness about this is totally disproportionate.  Your kid will learn to deal with the uniform.  You will figure out how to get her to school on time.  Millions of people do this all the time.  You can choose to be practical and deal with this, or you can choose to be anxious and resentful and stressed and unhappy.  It's totally up to you.

I strongly suspect that OP is the author of numerous other threads on DCUM, where she complains and complains and complains, people offer suggestions and she rejects them all, and her untreated anxiety is on full display. The military husband, the school anxiety, the DH-insists-on-private-but-I-wanted-public, it all tracks. One thread she decided she needed to quit her job because she couldn't bring herself to tell her employer that the morning conference call conflicts with school drop off. Pages upon pages upon pages of obvious untreated anxiety, OP lashing out at anyone who dared suggest as much, and shooting down every single reasonable suggestion people put forth. [i]Oh woe is me, you just don't understand![/i][/quote]

Oh yeahhhhh, that make sense.  I'm done with this -- like beating my head against the wall when someone insists on completely contrary despite all reasonable suggestions.  [/quote]

NP. I agree. I read those other threads and they're similar. Why does the same poster keep posting the same issues?[/quote]

Because she will not treat her mental health issues.[/quote]
