Christmas 2006

Well it's that time of the year again. Another xmas gone. This one was a bit lonely - it was only me, my son and our homestay student. My sister has been ignoring me now since around August. I really don't miss her - that makes me sad :-(

My son left to go to his father's at lunch time - so it was a really quiet xmas. He is coming home tomorrow avo.

He got so many presents today, but I just don't feel like he appreciates what he receives. I buy him too much. I won't be buying him that much in 2007 - I'm still saving for my own house. It's a slow process.

Ok - see if you can help me with this. He (my son) seems to be on his best behaviour at his father's. He doesn't back-chat, he doesn't whinge, chuck tantrums and he eats everything he is given. What am I doing wrong? What should I be doing different? Who can I talk to?

I feel I need to make some important decisions in the new year - things will need to be changed!
