Its AT LEAST once a week. He refuses to get up and says hes sick. Theres nothing wrong with him and later in the day he always 'magicly' feels better. Im so frustrated with this.
I have discussed the difference between 'not feeling great' and really being sick, and that a person cannot miss that much school or work. Hes failing all his classes because he misses so much school. The school says they can do nothing.
Today again he says he sick. I got really angry and told him I dont believe him and he thinks Im being mean to a 'sick' person. I told him he's cried wolf too many times, and made him admit he lies about it often, so I dont trust his word.
I HATE starting my day off like this. Getting angry. B1tching at him.
As a mother, my natural instinct is to be understanding and supportive if my child is sick...but hes abused this...and now it just plain pisses me off when I hear him whine that hes sick as he lays in bed and refuses to get up.
What would you do?????????? Help!
