What did you do today?

Yeah. I got to hear about stuff, but not what they did. Granted it was the first day of school and the first thing I heard was that there was NO WORK!
It was my kids first day at school.Quote:

DADDD !!
just wait till you visit her school, then have her ask you to not come back cause you "embarrassed" her. I did like volunteering for field trips. ALL RIGHT KIDS line up and count off, you, you're # 1 go. No one ever hassled me about CCW, cause it was CONCEALED !
It's the age. Mine is also 5, same thing exactly.
Heck, thats what I told her whenever I came home.. too tired to talk.
My oldest (pre-school last year, Kindergarten now) usually gives me we had "FUN!" maybe minor details about one thing that was good. No details on what the whole day was about.
The youngest Pre-school last year as well and his favorite word last year was "poo poo", so everything was "poo poo" when asked about his day. Although he thinks saying "poo poo" was funny so even if you asked him what he wanted to eat, if he thought to be funny the answer was "poo poo."
Recently the fav word changed to "Coconut" briefly until he stopped doing the one word "i am funny phrase."
We will see what this year brings, neither one has started yet.
My oldest is 5 also and started school today. Already got a email from the teacher saying he did not want to participate in several activities and the class photo. Of course he doesn't want to talk about it. Argh! Not what I was hoping for on the first day of school.
9 years ago on my son's 1st day of Kindergarden he said screw it and walked out to head home, school was about 8miles from home and they caught with him about 1/2 mile from the school.
I did the same thing as did my older brother, it must be genetic.
Day two I got a note from the teacher saying my daughter was misbehaving. Same day the afterschool ladies told me she was hitting other kids. Sigh. She is doing better this week. Part of it all was she is used to rough housing with dad and you cant do that at school. The other part was it was a rude shock to be away from family from 0630 till 1745 when I pick her up. Rough day for the munchkin.Quote:

5 year old... enjoy it while you can. Wait till she is 16. Time to go make another drink.
My boy is five and starting kindergarten tomorrow. Ask him what he did at daycare I would get "don't remember" if pushed get "don't want to talk about it" but would say he had fun.
Mine is 5 as well and started school yesterday. The only comment we got from the teacher when we picked him up was "He needs to listen better". No details or anything that would actually help....yay, lol!
And like most of you, when you ask him about his day, his focus is on one thing that he thought was fun. Getting details out of him doesn't happen!
I sincerely hope my kid would be easier during her teen years.Quote:

Her pecker head boyfriend turns 18 in October, I figure then I can beat his ass once he's an adult....Quote:

Keep at it. Let her get comfortable with the new school schedule and she will open up more.
Try not to come across as a DI or CHP Patrolman. She will open up once she is settled in.
Offer her an incentive to talk more. Meaning, take her to a fun kids restaurant and talk ccandidly
with her and let her open up some then let her go play then when ah comes back ask some more
to get he to open up.
My 16 year and I are on good terms considering her age.
Good luck Buddy!!!!![M2]
