♥~♥ SINGLE MOTHERS SUPPORT THREAD! ♥~♥

So I get a call from the Attorney Generals office today regarding an investigation they are doing on Medicaid Fraud involving one of my son's former PCAs!:eek: What makes this even more shocking is she was the BEST PCA he ever had in the 4 years he's been getting service.:eek:

Turns out, not only is she a raging alcoholic, her house could have been one of those on Horders! Eight adopted kids lived in that home. She showed pictures to me of them all the time. I never would have guessed they had been living in squallor for years. The county condemed their home unfit for human habitation. A neighbor claims she scraped a dead cat off the floor in one of the kids' bedrooms.:barf:

This woman claimed one of her kids was disabled when he wasn't. She and her mother had been bilking the county out thousands of tax payers' dollars for years!

I'm assuming the six months she was with us, she was on the wagon, because the current photos/videos I saw of her today are of a completely different person.

So, I've got to talk to the AG's office tomorrow and verify my signature on some of this woman's timecards.

I do feel kinda bad since I've spoken so highly of her. It's a shame really, because very few of the PCAs who have crossed my threshold could hold a candle to the kind of care she gave my son.

And, yes, it's evident the agency she was working for was aiding and abetting. I cannot wait to hear their defense.
 
Wow!!!!!!

Where are all the single mommies at???? Have you all abandoned the thread???

Just curious, how many of you ladies discipline your children physically?

I discipline mine physically as needed, though I do try to find other modes of behaviorial redirection.

But sometimes a hand needs to be smacked!

My son can get very agressive physically and use his wheelchair as an attack weapon. And like a lot of kids his age, he will push and push and push.

So today, I smacked his hand and his arm while we were in Ihop. This is after repeatedly telling him to stop, giving him the stare down and the frowny face.

Well, apparently one of the customers didn't care for my mode of parenting and proceeded to tell me so. I promptly told her I did not give a fluck and if she thought I was abusing the child then she could call the police and CPS and let them settle it. Needless to say, she was one of those fat angry women who just could not let it go, so her fatter friend tried to ease her on out the door.

That would have been that, but then the friend turned on me after I said something back to the first woman and told me I "best have a seat!" The shoved her finger in my face. I responded in kind. I guess they thought all that weight was going to scare me or something, but it didn't. I had a fork at the ready, just in case, ya know.

So then Baby Shamu came sidling up to my table telling me I better back off. Again, I responded in kind and told her she BEST back off. So now I'm surrounded by the female version of the Fat Boys talking trash yet not quite willing to take it further.

Just then the manager comes speeding around the corner! Dude looked like a big yellow son! He must have been 6'4", 400lbs and was wearing a bright yellow t-shirt. Those big arse...er...women (yes, I'll be nice) dwarfed in comparison.

Anyway, words were exchanged and he promptly escorted each one of them out the restaurant bouncer style. Then he came back to our table, apologized for the ruckus and paid for our meal.

All of this because I smacked my bad arse boy's hand! No bruises. No welts. No red marks. And he was giggling for the rest of the our time there. Yet I was accused of child abuse!

Now I don't get off hitting my kid, but I don't get off on the idea of him getting out of control in that chair and knocking a waitress over with a pot of hot coffee, or pushing over a table full of food (yes, my child is just that strong!) or playing with knives. Call me crazy. Normally, I bring his Ipad to keep him occuppied, but wasn't able to today.

Some ppl think they know so much about what's going on in other ppl's lives and they don't have a clue.

And how was your day?

I see nothing wrong with a little Slap/pop to the hand. Those women were way out of line. I could understand if you just all out spanked him in the restaurant. Glad they were escorted out. Some people think any type of hitting /touching a child is abuse.

Wait...u said u smacked his arm and hand? Nothing wrong with that...all that extra for nothing!!!!!!

I admit..I forget to sign on now that I don't have the app on my phone.....I have been going thru it lately but things are getting better
 
My 6 year old DS just got suspended from school because he and a few other kids were throwing school supplies instead of sitting at their desks doing their work. DS must have gotten upset because he got hit and he became very upset and ended up hitting two kids with supples that were actually doing their work. He has been getting in trouble at school a lot over the last couple of months and I just don't know what to do. I've taken away things, put him on punishment and I talked until I just can't anymore. It's so frustrating and I dont even know this person he is at school. I know his teacher doesn't have any control over her class but, DS knows better!

Have you tried going to a behavioral specialist? My son used to have a FIT when he came home...and I mean an ugly, knockout, drag down, UGLY melt down. That's when I resorted to the belt...but I'm not comfortable with that so I sought professional help. I mean, my kid was screaming bloody murder, ramming his wheelchair in to the walls and trying to run me over with that thing as well as kicking and punching at me. Girl................!
Anyhoo, I took him to a behavioral specialist...two visit...and got a handle on that mess. Turns out all he wanted was his Ipad. lol Technology addiction is no joke. Since my son is non-verbal, he had no way of telling. So now when we come home, he gets his ipad right away...or sometimes I take him out of wheelchair in the hall way so if he does have a fit, he's doing it on the floor. Lately though I've been transporting him in the community shopping cart....
Anyhoos, I'm taking him back to the behavioralist in few weeks for other issues. It's worth checking out.
Good luck!

PS I can't believe they are suspending kids for that these days. What happend to just cooling off in the Principal's office?
 
What has changed in the past couple of months? Do you think something triggered him to start acting up and how does he behave at home?

I would meet with the teacher if you haven't and I agree with speaking to a counselor or specialist.

I don't have any other suggestion but I would definitely want to nip it in the bud. You don't want him labeled as a troublemaker.
 
I've met with the teacher a couple of times and we communicate regularly via email. She keeps me updated on his behavior.

He has his moments at home but, it's nothing like his behavior at school. For the most part, he is obedient at home. I picked DS up early one day and witnessed him and his classmates being unruly. He's in a large class and the teacher's assistant left earlier this year. That's when DS started getting yellow and red on the behavior chart. But, regardless of that, he knows right from wrong and his behavior is unacceptable!

The only change is that we moved but, he still goes to the same school and he didn't have any friends in our old neighborhood. He's with his dad a couple days a week. His dad and I picked him up from school today... I just don't know.

hey! I'm late to the party! I redirect mine and snatch them up by the front of their shirt or arm! Lol I get in their faces and let them know I mean business! Even my little one! I grab his arm and tell him not to hit or do something. I ask him does he understand, and he will say yes and go about his business! Lol my kids are off the chain and things go in one ear and out the other. I stopped using my positive reinforcement chart, since it seemed like some days it just didn't work. I think I will get back on it.

I am on the waiting list for an appt. my son needs it bad. When he isn't on his meds, I don't know who he is!
 
hey @All4Tris in kindergarten my dd was off the chain. Alwsys being disciplined. Had charts and the whole nine. Part of it was the separation. But I found out a year later the bulk of it was the teacher. :( she was just sh-ty. Short tempered, unable to creatively keep a cohesive class. like yours, when she was home, different child. So it was the school not yhe kid. When dd got into first grade she had one incident with the new teacher the whole year. And that's because he was a ***** that day and I was sure to hand him his ass.

Shes finish in 3rd this week and has been a model student.

I say scrutinize and check that teacher if necessary especially if his home vs school behavior dont match.
 
I may have mentioned this before, but let me recap. My (worthless) mother called one day out of the blue and said: "It's too bad (my son's name) has that Spina Bifida. He's such a good looking boy. He's going to miss out on so much!"
Me: "He can do whatever he wants."
Her: "He CAN'T WALK, CAN HE??!!!"

Anyway, I've always been one to get my son involved in activities so he can have experiences. Over the weekend we went to a cousin's 1st bday party at the park and I took my kid out of his wheelchair so he could scoot around on the grass. Well...that little boy had so much fun! The other kids actually played with him even though he was physically different. He had one boy dying with giggles trying to play catch. The smaller kids were entranced with his chair. My son really like the sandbox (grrrrr...oh the hair! the hair!) and at one point crawled/scooted out of the sandbox and nearly halfway up a grassy knoll.

So, I'm looking at this kid playing JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER KIDS...and I couldn't have been prouder...and he never complained or cried or gave up or anything. He didn't want anything to do with me. He was so independent! On Monday nights he plays baseball with the Miracle League, too. Last night was the first night he actually made an effort to run the bases himself wthout someone pushing his chair. In fact, he was all over the field last night! lol

Anyway, just wanted to share cuz I'm not talking to that other female who will one day be sorry she missed out on so much of his life.
 
Thanks for your input ladies.

@DarkJoy I think you are on to something.

DS's first day back was rough. Some kids in 2nd grade were picking on him during recess and DS was pissed the remainder of the day. He didn't feel like his teacher handled things fairly and he didn't want to be bothered with anyone. Anyhow, we talked about it on the way home and DS just started crying hysterically and he couldnt explain why he was crying. It took about 20 minutes for me to calm him down. Something definitely isn't right so, I emailed the teacher to let her know I planned on sitting in the class tomorrow. She then says something to me about volunteer training... I haven't completed the training and I wish they would tell me I can't sit in a class and my son just had an emotional breakdown as a result of whatever is going on in that school. My son has never reacted like that... EVER!

ETA: she said that my son is a sweet soul that feels deeply. She also said that the kids that are "triggers" are out the rest of the week so, she thinks the next few days will be fine. Now I feel like DS is getting in trouble because he's defending himself or because the "triggers" upset him.
 
See @All4Tris? Its the other students bullying him and teacher picking on the victim. Take her to task on not properly disciplining them, creating the result of your upset and "unruly" son.

You know imma ask it.... sorry, but are the bullies black too? What about the teacher? Dd goes to a fairly mixed school but all the teachers are white minus the new principal. Now that I have realized whats up I keep my eyes peeled and rarely believe anything they say and instead flip it back on them.

Go to the principal and ask about that b.s. training nonsense. You are not going to help just observe. Something suspicious with her. be prepared to request a class switch for your son
 
So a couple of days ago I discovered my son's former PCA agency has been committing fraud with his account. This woman paid PCAs for hours they did not work and she paid one for a day she was not even in the home. I reported her to the department of HS in my county and today received a call from the investigator. Told him if she hands in time cards with these fraudulent hours, they are forged because I did not sign them or authorize those hours. The agency and I had discussed these hour before she applied for reimbursement from the state, so she knows she is all kinds of wrong.

I guess we will see what happens once they start digging into her paperwork.
 
The Paralympics are in my town this year and it is kind-a exciting! I've never been before, so I took the kid to the prelims today to see how he'd handle hanging in the bleachers. Because I'm a Veteran and he's a paraplegic, we got in free. Let me tell you, there is something to these "special" classes! lol I was really impressed watching all these differently abled ppl running and rolling like crazy. Changing out there sprinting legs for their regular walking legs. Trip. Amazing upper body strength and definition on just about everybody. It's like stepping into an alternative universe. I hope my kid gets something out of it...he's only five, but you never know. He's pretty athletic in his own way. I think we'll go back Sunday for the finals. Hoping we see some women perform then.

Anybody else ever been?
 
Ok ladies!! Happy Father's day to ya'll cuz you know we deserve it!

So, took my kid to the paralympics today cuz it was finals days. As soon as I get him unloaded from the car, I notice this impressive looking sister with a prosthetic metal foot and impressive shoulders exiting her car a few feet from us. So I ask her if she's one of the athletes and she says, yes. Her name is April Holmes. So I asked her if she'd be kind enough to pose in a photo with my son and she obliged. I thanked her for being a sport and my son and I went on to enjoy the games.

Well, when I got home I immediately google April Holmes. Lawd hammercy! I was talking to the equivalent of maybe a Jackie Joyner Kersee and had no freaking idea! LOL If you google her, let me just say, her photos do not do her justice. She told me she'd been running track since 2001. I said she must have started as a kid, cuz, to me, up close and personal, this sister could not have been more than 30. And honestly, I was really thinking late 20's. She is 42 yrs old! According to her bio, she lost her leg in a freak train accident. Anyhoo, I sent her an email on FB telling her how much I appreciated her taking the time to pose with my son and how one day he is going to appreciate it...and she wrote me back. She was so nice! Boy, you never know who you gonna run into some days, so I guess it pays to be nice to everybody. lol

I did a lot of cooking, baking and decorating for Father's Day.. Never again! I'm getting folks a card from now on! Lol men Cry about not being recognized , So you got all of these women planning bbqs, parties, trips, etc. and that's not what they really want. Im still working on some candies, but I'm doing it because I just like doing that type of stuff. That's my outlet. Anyway these kids are driving me crazy! Free range in this house is over! If you look like you are gonna eat outside of the kitchen, I'm snatching heads! You got one time to go in the frig and don't ask first, and I'm snatching heads! You make a mess and don't clean it up, I'm snatching your dang head!
 
Dang moms! Where yall at?! Hope your summers are lovely. Lets check in!

Started a new job a cpl months ago so cant quite go on vacay yet. I really really really want to take another small road trip. I actually daydream of taking the train next state over and renting a cabin in a woodsy area. We live on the coast so beach vacays are meh... can do that any weekend. But then again camp and daycare costs ($350 a week! Luckily we alternate with boys and girls club) are killing my pocketbook. Anyone doing vacay?

Are you preparing for school? Im already filling up the Wal-Mart and children's place carts for clothes and supplies. Actually, I have her pick stuff and put it in the cart. She loooooves online shopping! :lol: :look: next pay day I'll pull the trigger and buy the stuff.

she's expressed interest in both piano and martial arts for extracurriculars upcoming school year. we prefer her to do martial arts so maybe that in the next cpl months.

What's shaking moms?
 
I've already done the majority of DS's clothing shopping, so the only thing left is supplies. I shop clearance off season, so he's had stuff (including shoes) in the closet for a couple of months.

He was taking martial arts a few months ago and liked it, so I may sign him up again or begin piano lessons. I'm in save mode, so our next vacation or road trip probably won't be for a while. I'm focusing on small day trips (museums, small amusement parks, zoo, etc.).

I always shop off season and clearance racks! Right now I have fall/winter clothes I racked up on at old navy and childrens place. My daughter said she wanted to do martial arts. DD Is 4.
 
Hey Mommies

My oldest girl has graduated and started college. Going through the ups and downs of being away from home and new people. I am glad bc she suffer from anxiety so this has helped her get settled.

My son and youngest daughter have been working and I have been playing taxi with them. My son starts college next month and youngest starts junior year.

Starting to slowly transit into my own business.
 
Hey ladies. These boys are about to make me bust their heads to the white meat.
DS1 is about to turn 21. He did find a new job and is doing things, but he can't be grown in my house. I'm the only grown one. So he has a deadline to get A, B, and C done.
DS2 is working his summer job and is doing well. About to start his senior year in the fall! :thud:
DS3 is with his dad during the day this summer and both of them are getting on my nerves. I'm about to tell him that he can keep him till school starts.
Me I started my new job in April and have gotten two new programs to manage already. I'm about to pull my hair out. But such is life...lol
 
My boy starts summer school on Monday (happy dance!!!) so I can start hitting the gym regularly again. Going to the dollar store this weekend to pick up supplies.

Honestly, I never knew one little person could on my last lovin' nerve! Can't wait to get him out of here.

Yesterday I stopped to get a cupcake and sat him on the counter while I paid for it and he (spiteful devil!) deliberately pushed the tip jar on the floor! Glass everywhere. You ever get so mad you just get numb? Lose your breath? Find your lips curled up over your teeth in a silent snarl?

On the positive side of things, my (his) Blendtec arrived today! Because of his disability the state gave my son a nice grant for the year to get a bunch of stuff for his care. The Blendtec is one of those things. I signed him up for a sports camp, but he hates organization. Swimming lessons and martial arts are next on the list. As well as weekend respite camps. Be so glad to get rid of him for few days! lol

Yes I am looking forward to school. The school year is when my vacation begins. I wish he could go year round.
