What Gives?

Why do I get the vomitors? So, again I have a child who doesn't want to be at school. She cries and whines, but then also makes herself gag, convulsive, and then vomit. Usually it's just spit or bile or whatever but come on! I know nothing is wrong with her and she begs to go to the nurse, or go home, or I want mom etc... Its all a total manipulation tool. So we had an issue this morning with her so I called the nurse to get input and come to find out this was common place last year too. She sees me on the phone and hears her name and comes over and says "I know my mom's phone number" (with a smile mind you). You know I didn't cave but instead was a meany pants all day and made her stay because she was FINE! But it makes me feel mean and mad at the same time. You know this tactic must work at home, but it won't work with me. I think it's stupid! When it comes to a battle of wills, I will win...my dad taught me that one. He always won when I was a kid and I could hold out a long time. It taught me that just because I wanted my way and I wasn't gonna get it regardless of the tantrum, pouting, or whatever I did. Life is rough but you can't always have your way. Guess that lesson comes in handy now. It just sucks being on the other end, and these aren't even my kids. I can imagine that will be worse. Man how things come around to bite you in the ass! Ugh just frustrating day because the kid was a negative force all day. Needless to say didn't make for the best of days. Hopefully tomorrow is better.
