So in the last two months, SS12 has missed more than two weeks of school because he's throwing up. He has a history of trouble with acid reflux that causes him to spit up and he's back on the meds now. No fever. And, oddly enough, these episodes never happen on weekends or holidays. Isn't that interesting?

Also, he's chronically late with school work and now has all Cs and Ds (except music, where he has an A).

SS11 (nearly 12) is a smart kid. Very smart. In my experience, that can be good and bad.

This is his first year of middle school, which can be an adjustment. The school app has been driving DH nuts because he keeps getting notifications about late or missed assignments. Sometimes they were submitted and teacher hasn't graded yet, or they were done in class. No problem, but the app doesn't distinguish. DH keeps on SS about it. This is not new. It was happening last year, too.

Not a shock. DH has seen it coming.

So, SS11 is on BM's health insurance, so she lets DH know his half every quarter. She hasn't billed him in more than a year, despite DH asking. Today he talked to her and pushed her. She finally admitted SS has said he wants to live with her and they've been working on it. She's been holding off on billing him in case SS lives with her.

After days of trying to get clarification, DH finally learned from BM that the graduation reminder card SS11 gave DH is the physical ticket and you can't get in without one. He gave his other three to BM and her parents. DH asked her and she said, no, she's not aware of him having any problems with me. He hasn't said anything. It's basically like I thought: he's closer to his grandparents and wants them both there.

I've been pretty detached and "whatever" about all of it. I hate graduations so it's not like I feel deprived. I'll just work instead.
