A Single Daddy’s Blog

Single Parenting from a Father’s Perspective.

Anastasia got in trouble at school today.  I wrote about it in an earlier post.  Part of her punishment was to write an apology letter to her teacher.

She went downstairs to the table to write it and I got on the phone with a client to finalize a project I am working on for him.

While I am on the phone Anastasia finishes her letter and comes and stands next to me impatiently waiting while I am on the phone.  When I looked at her, she tells me she is done.  I told her to wait.  I knew the phone call would not last that long.

She is now sitting behind me playing with the dogs, banging into the walls and crinkling her paper.  I told her to go downstairs and wait for me to call her.  I finished my call and called her to come upstairs.

I guess she got bored downstairs because her paper had little flowers all over the left top corner.  Normally I would encourage this because she s very artistic.  She was in trouble though.  I told her to go downstairs and write it all again.

Flowers from my daughter

I feel bad, cause I know she spent time writing it.  Although that is the very thing she is getting in trouble at school for; doing things she is not supposed to.

This is one of those days that I really need to concentrate on what is going on with her, because she is just getting in too much trouble and there has to be a reason.
