What a morning, first call was 5 AM with the little princess waking up for some milk. Then starting sometime after 6 she was up again and something kept banging against my bedroom window, by 6:30 the elder princess was screaming in bed and the morning had begun. There was a small issue when I dropped of the elder princess at daycare where usually a teacher takes the child out of the car. Well this morning there was only one teacher and she was having a conversation with the car in front of me, I trust my child to walk like 6 feet to the door, which she did. Nothing was said, but it didn’t seem like the teacher liked that and I’m reminded off all the trouble I had with school. The queen and I were talking about 18 and 19 year olds doing adult activities now seems wild and yet I joined the Army when I was 17. I really hated school, still do apparently. I don’t want my actions to effect their situation, but I can articulate why I did something and why it wasn’t wrong. Schools don’t like free thinkers. In the military they at least have muscle to support rules. Do the wrong thing in combat then you die, break the rules in garrison and you can go to jail. Don’t do what a teacher says and the worst they can do is kick you out, I didn’t want to be there anyway. Can’t force that on my kids though, best to say nothing.
