Ryan's Rough Week

Ryan has not had the best week. School has been fine, but outside of school he has been pushing all the wrong buttons. He disobeyed us, then lied about it. He has been hitting his brother. There was the unfortunate flashing incident at Wesley's party, and the whining has been insane. 

Tonight he and I were sitting together and I was reminding him that a new week and a new opportunity to make good choices has started.

"Mom," he said. "I don't know what has gotten into me this past week, but I sure hope it gets out soon."

So do I. I'm not sure I can take another week of that kind of behavior. And I'm running out of punishment ideas.
