Thanks so much. It isn't the easiest job and can be very stressful, but I love the little guys. It's very frustrating to sit and not have any say, but then neither does my husband. She absolutely refuses to let him have any part in decision making, no matter what the courts say, but then berates him for not being more involved when she keeps him completely in the dark regarding countless matters. Now keep in mind, we have the boys equally. It's not like we only have them every other weekend, we are completely involved. My poor DH is just not a fighter. He doesn't want to start something for fear it will be taken out on the boys. I'm hoping I can get him to be more pushy about the school thing, I really fear what it will be like for him next year. I remember what it was like going into middle school as a regular kid, i can't imagine what it will be like for a kid who is(in my opinion) being mainstreamed into a school situation that could really hurt him. I should probably mention that not only is he having these problems, he is signifigantly smaller than most kids his age. He weighs about 50-55 pounds. His 8 YO brother and my 7 YO son outweigh him 5-10 pounds. I'm seriously afraid someone will hurt him. He tends to say some very inappropriate things to people and I know how kids can be. Thanks again for your vote of confidence, it means alot. Alyson
