Well that was a start to the new school day!

So his clothes were ready, his coat was clean and he had new gloves to keep his fingers warm. You would think that things would be easier as all he had to do was get out of bed and get dressed-simple I hear you say! He got out of bed quite easily and used the bathroom-not sure if he actually got a wash but at least we heard no screams at the beginning. He came downstairs dressed and in what appeared to be an ok mood at about 8:25am-bear in mind we woke him up at 7.30am! he took his tablets before coming downstairs so they were happily kicking into his system. Then as he is eating his breakfast he starts to get silly and messes about with our daughter who is sat happily in her highchair after eating her breakfast. I didn't get angry I just asked him to eat his breakfast and stop playing with his sister as she didn't want to, I pointed out that if he was going to play that this signalled he had finished and if he didn't want to loose the tv or playstation he should eat his breakfast and obey the rules that we have-all this was in a calm manner. He finishes his breakfast and then proceeds to throw himself all over the kitchen floor and screech and scream at the top of his voice, he is warned. He then decides to really upset his sister and make her eyes water as he threatens to annoy her and she gets rather upset so he is bluntly told off and told to leave the room if he can't act sensibly! He walks out of the room slamming the door and shouting and screaming like a banshee! Then here we go again-slamming doors, shouting, swearing, calling names, in and out of the kitchen throwing himself around-we deem this as attention seeking behaviour so ignore it and he walks away. He decides to throw his trainer on the floor and throw his gloves down as if he was a 5 year old having a tantrum! He will run to school and not go in-he says. He's going to get a gun and shoot me, he will take a knife and stab us all! Ahh that's the lad we have come to know! Here we go again-gets up and all is well and then he just becomes his usual self-aggressive, uncompromising and an utter silly boy with a 16 year old attitude. He runs straight across the road-heaven forbid if a car was coming, all the way to school he is flagging us off with his fingers and shaking his bum at us and being a loud mouth yob that all the people can see and hear! He even flags us off in front of parents that are standing near while we wait to take him into school and the evil glares he gives us as we walk him to class with all the other parents and children. His teacher comes over for a chat and as she calls him into class he flags us off again and she looks at us and we look at her and she knows, she isn't shocked anymore just as we aren't shocked by the blantant way we have to put up with his emotional abuse and threats that usual end up by him having a bad day at school and yet another pupil becomes the victim of his attacks or his support teacher-poor woman. I come home and again rant about if he was a man I would have disowned him by now but we are just supposed to put up with the daily onslaught of abuse, emotional upset and aggressive behaviour and why-just because he is a boy. If I was blond would that mean I am allowed to forget to turn the cooker off! If I was having a bad hair day would I get away with attacking a person in public! If I was 7 and vandalised a car because I didn't like the colour would I not get told off! Age is a funny thing. As an adult who suffered emotional abuse from her partner I was told by several people that I didn't have to put up with it and I should leave.... So why as an adult if a boy does even worse do people give the excuse he is just a boy! Shall we wait until he again attacks another pupil, shall we wait until he has broken a car as he walks past and hits/kicks it-he has done all this and we still hear but he is only a boy!
