I know, right? You'd think they'd breathe a sigh of relief! His response makes me wonder what THEY think I "push" for. I think they think I bring this stuff up for ME ... like I am 'fighting' for me. And that this is all about power. It IS all about "power" FOR THEM. For ME, it really is all about my son. This just makes it blatantly obvious to me they do not give a crap about my kid and they actually completely lose of sight of what's important - when confronted with any of this it's pretty much never really about my son. It's about power. Do they think I am someone want to get go on free school trips? Like this is for me? Like I haven't been to these places or won't find the majority of this stuff a bit boring?
