I come rushing in the house excited that I had a good report card
Mommy look! *hands her my report card* I got three A and one B
-
Oh that's Amazing ally I'm so proud of you!
Sees all the kids come in the house
Hey guys let me see your report cards
-
I got 2 A's and 2 B's
-
Amber
*hand her my report card, with three C's and a B*
Jenny
*hand a my report card, with three B's and an A*
Jackson
*hand her my report card with mostly D's*
Samuel
*hand her my report card, with all A's*
-
Samuel you got All A's that's Awesome! So extremely proud of you
Amber I love your report card this proves you are really smart
Jenny you did an amazing job too
Jackson.. what happened with you? All D's?
-
I got all B's
-
Samuel, Amber, and Jenny
*smile*
Jackson
"I don't care about school."
-
Ok well in this house I don't allow a D
Especially if I know you really not even trying
-
Jackson
"Why should I try?"
-
Jackson school is important. You will not get anywhere in life with out an education.
So until you start putting an effort in to school you will be cleaning up after the horses and there will be no tv
-
Jackson
"What? You never said I had to make an effort in school."
-
Well you know bad grades especially the ones you get for not trying are not allowed.
I could see if you were really trying but you aren't so until you start this is what you will have to do.
-
"No I didn't. You never said that."
-
Ok well I'm saying it now. You have to start trying in school
Did you Think I was getting up early every morning taking you to school for nothing? Absolutely not so you're gonna have to start trying
-
"I thought you were taking us to school for the same reason my mom, who didn't care how I did, made me go. It's illegal not too." *thinks of how I sometimes wondered why I had to go to school and Amber never did*
-
You should know by now I'm way different then your mom when u come in this house you know that before any fun happens homework is to be be done you know that on school nights you go to bed early so you are well rested for school and you know that I get each of you to school on time. So Jackson you know I care stop acting like you don't know.
-
Jackson
*getting even more confused* "I really don't. I thought things were just that way because you didn't want us getting in trouble."
-
Well it's not and I'm telling you now that I do care. And until you start trying u won't be watching tv and you will be cleaning up after the horses.
-
"You can't punish me without a warning."
-
Well your warning was that I get up everyday take y'all to school make sure you do your homework I say all the time school is important so like I said until u start trying this is what you will have to do
-
"Well if you don't think school is important because of why I thought you did, then why?"
-
School is important because as you grow up you are going to have to become a well rounded person. You have to learn things and be in tune with the world around you. As you grow up many different opportunities will come your way and in order to be good at a lot of things you have to have knowledge.
When you do finally get grown you are going to have to go out and get a good job so you can take care of yourself when the time comes. With out Education you will be passed and overlooked so many times. This is why it is important. You want to be able to outsmart other people that will be in direct competition with you and the only way to do it is with a good education
-
"I don't want to outsmart anyone."
-
Ok well you gonna try in school that's the bottom line
-
"Fine, but I don't care about being successful."
-
Well I care about you being successful so
-
"The only things I want to be successful in are one day find happiness, which I've heard successful people don't. Also, I don't care what you think."
-
Well if I have anything to do with it you will be successful.
I'm successful and happy so u can do too
-
Jackson
"What makes you so sure you're successful?"
-
I'm rich, I got 3 businesses I take care of children who have no where else to go I don't have to want for anything I'm smart I'm very successful
-
"Maybe, but that still doesn't change the fact that I don't care about success."
-
Well I care for you
-
"Why would you care if I was successful anyway?"
-
Do you want a bad life full of sadness or a good life full of happiness and success
-
Jackson
*stare at her in shock because she seems to be pretending I didn't already say I wanted to be happy*
-
Answer the question
-
"I still want to be happy, but I still don't care if I'm successful. Now you answer my question. Why do you care if I'm successful?"
-
Because I actually care about you duh why do you think
-
"Maybe that wasn't the right question. Why do you can about success?"
-
Sighs feeling super frustrated* because success is what helps you in life
-
"Really? I thought success just made someone move ahead of other people."
-
No Jackson it helps you in life
-
"And you think success and happiness are related, how?"
-
Because if you have a good life you are happy
-
Jackson
"I live for today, not years from now."
-
Well you gone be living for today and I'll be worrying about your future for you
-
Jackson
"Why? The futures for a higher power to decided, not us. Whatever will be will be."
-
Well you control your future by what you do today so
-
"Did you not hear what I just said?"
-
Yup but you are wrong so
-
"How do you know?"
-
Because I have lived long enough to you that you control your future
-
"How old are you?" *wondering if she's lived longer then my dad, who I got my philosophy on life and future from, did*
-
Old enough Jackson dang why can't you ever just accept stuff I hate that you demand answers from me like it's not even what you say but it's how you say it like have to answer you or else
-
"Well maybe you should accept the fact that I'm not going to believe your theory on futures over my own Dad's."
-
But when somebody trying to help you you don't even care and that drives me insane
-
"Like I am really trying to help you and you shut every attempt I try down"
Thoughts in my head~
why do I even waste my breath talking to him?
I don't even understand myself.
*laughs*
I must be crazy I must be **** insane
because here I am caring about somebody who don't give a **** about anything
And I care more than anybody
Yo I need to be on **** medication or some **** because it's something seriously wrong with me
Here I am thinking I can help these kids and I can't even get through to any of em
Maybe I should just give these kids back to some foster care place and not have to worry about this
But I was in foster care and I know how cruel and just not a good place for a kid to be in
I give to these kids before I give to myself
I truly love each of them but damn are they all gonna turn out to bE like Jackson? not giving a **** about themselves or they future or anything like oh my gosh I'm just the most terrible person in the world I guess.
*pulls my self out of deep though completely forgetting the kids were even in the room then looks at Jackson in the nicest and calmest voice I can put together in this moment I say
Jackson... maybe you don't really understand the importance of school and success and all that and that's fine I guess but while you live here it's a requirement for all kids to do their best. I'm not saying you have to be prefect
but you do have to put forth effort and do your best. While you are in my house you will do your best in school there's no way out of that you cannot get your way I don't care how many tantrums you throw or how many fits you have you will not be able to weasel your way out of this.
And I mean that from the bottom of my heart honestly I don't know if you've met me but let me re-introduce myself to you
I am currently The person who feeds you
The person who make sure you have clothes
The person who cares about you
The person who make sure you have every thing you need
And I am the person that you WILL respect and that you will not step out of a child's place with
I am simply tired of you demanding answers from me. now I have no problem explaining things to you but once I explain something please don't challenge my explanation
if you have something to ask me please ask respectfully
do not and I repeat this again you do NOT under any circumstance ever try to demand an answer from me.
you can as respectfully ask, as a child should but you cannot make me answer your questions.
See you feel Entitled for me to answer your questions
I don't have to answer anything honestly I do it because I have no problem answering questions for you but for you to make it seem like if I don't answer a question then somethings going to happen to me or something just I don't even know but the way you ask me questions it's like you demanding it and I don't like that
You need to find a better more respect full way to ask me questions and to try to understand things from me
Jackson I am telling you I have a very mean side OK and you are really really pushing me to that side and you do not want me to go there
you can ask my children OK
please please please I am really really begging you I am honestly begging you to watch your attitude around me for the next few days OK
I'm really really asking you I really need that favor from you because my head is not on straight right now OK it's really not
And please understand i'm not saying this to be mean I want you to understand that I'm not being mean right now
I am just giving you a good fair warning please understand I'm not being mean I really want to get that through your head I am not being mean to you
I am actually being very very nice right now. I am talking in a very calm manner a respectful manner just telling you how I'm feeling right now and how I feel that you're acting towards me it needs to stop OK that's all I'm going to say
please take what I have just told you into a lot of consideration now this discussion is over I don't want to hear anything else about it I want you to meditate on what I said please analyze it carefully and we will go on about our day sometimes I just really have to speak how I am feeling so please don't take anything personal because if I never spoke how I feel I really would go crazy so please no I'm not being mean this is just how I feel at this moment OK so we're gonna leave it alone I'm going to go in my room and just chill out for a little bit and really try to calm my nerves.
Looks at all the kids* guys you know how I put y'all in time out sometimes well ima go put myself in one for a little while my anger problem is starting to try to break free so I need to go calm down nobody knock on my door or any of that I'll be out later *goes to my room and slams my door*
*walks of to my room
-
Watches how my mom starts talking and automatically knows that tone of voice that means Jackson has almost pushed her too far so I decide to try to help him out a little*
I look at Jackson
"Hey Jackson um I hope you start to be more better around my mom she really is trying to be nice to you"
-
Jackson
"No she's not. She's nice to other people, but never to me."
Amber and Jenny
*playing outside, ever since Ms. China saw Jackson's report card and Jenny suggest they go outside*
-
Jackson she is trying to be nice to you she just don't like it when kids act like brats
That's all if u stopped acting like that and stop thinking you can talk to her any kind of way you want then you would have a better life
-
Jackson
"She has to fight with me about everything. She's worse then my mother."
-
You fight with her about everything everything she says to you you have a problem with it. She Loves all of us but she's gonna make sure you do what's right and she's isn't going to let you behave badly. She gives out consequences for bad behavior but when you are being good you have nothing to worry about
-
"I fight with her because she keeps on trying to wrack my life."
-
She tries to make your life better boy
Ugh you are impossible to tell anything
When my mom stops caring all together
Don't say I didn't try to talk to you
*Walks out*
-
See now look what you did Jackson
You made my sister mad you made my mom mad
You always just are the hardest person to
Try to talk to *shakes my head and runs after my sister*
Allyyyy!!! *tries to catch her*
-
Sighs and looks at Jackson
Soooo..... we all know I'm the nicest one compared to them so I'll give you a tip Jackson.. just go talk to my mom and just apologize if you want it to get better. That's all I'm gonna say *flips the the tv*
-
Jackson Aa'Miya is right. You should apologize you always see what she does wrong but do you ever look at yourself and see what you do? You have to think about it my mom pretty much gets along with every other child here but you because every time she tries to say something to you you take it the wrong way where you talk to her like she's not important like me and my sisters see that every day we just don't say anything but it does… Upset us that you do that to her
-
"Well it's not my fault that she decided to try to wrack my life. I was perfectly happy before I had to come here, and I'm still not sure why that was."
-
We arent going to say anything else about it because we not bout to argue with you. Oh and mom said you can't watch tv and Miya is so you better go somewhere that a tv is not on so you won't get in trouble
-
Knows that Jackson probably will try and argue with me I just decide to let me womzie make him leave
Yells "MS WOMZIE CAN YOU COME HERE?"
-
Here's the yelling
And yells back
AANIYA STOP ALL THAT YELLING IN THIS HOUSE DO YOU HEAR ME
YOU BETTER GO FIND MS WOMZIE DONT BE YELLING IN MY HOUSE!
-
Sees that my mom is super frustrated all I can say is
"SORRY MOM"
Loud enough for her to hear me but not yelling
-
Jackson
*listens and doesn't leave the room*
Samuel
*hears the yelling from all the way up in my room, where I've been since shortly after Ms. China and Jackson started arguing*
Ms. Womzie
*helps Jenny and Amber mount Mickey and Olaf, unable to hear from in the house*
-
Goes out side To find ms womzie
Ms.womzie can you get Jackson out the living room?
-
Decides to write in my jornal to calm myself down
-
Ms. Womzie
*sigh* "Whats the problem?"
-
Well Jackson got all D's on his report card so Mom told him until he starts actually trying to do better in school he's not allowed to watch TV
but Jackson got really smart mouthed with my mom and now she's really really really upset because she was trying to explain to him why school was important and that she wants him to be successful in life but Jackson kept saying he doesn't care about being successful and he doesn't have to do anything and school is stupid and every time my mom would say something to him he would say something smart back so my mom got really mad and he just kept going so now she's really really mad she's locked* herrself in her room and so on Miya turned on the TV and so I told Jackson since she's in here watching TV you might want to get out of the room because if my mom catches you in here with the TV on given the fact that you were being really smart mouth and you weren't listening at all you might get in a lot more trouble than you already are in so can you get him out of the living room so he won't get in more trouble
-
Ms. Womzie
"Is he doing anything that is bothering you, other then just being present?"
-
I mean have you ever met my mom when she's mad? If she sees Jackson in there with the TV on she's gonna say something and he's going to give you even more trouble I'm trying to save him but if you don't want to help then OK I guess Jackson will just have to deal with my mom when she's already super mad
-
Ms. Womzie
*sigh* "You're right. I'll just be a minute." *make sure each of the girls is in secure in the saddle, with good stirrup lengths* "Kevin. Could you supervise the girls until I get back?"
Kevin
"Sure." *step into the arena*
Ms. Womzie
"No going faster then a walk until I get back."
Jenny
*sadly* "Okay."
Ms. Womzie
*goes inside* "Jackson, how would you like to go do something?"
Jackson
"I am. I"m thinking."
Ms. Womzie
"Isn't this room a distracting place to think?"
Jackson
"Do you have a better idea?"
Ms. Womzie
"Your bedroom."
Jackson
"Okay."
Ms. Womzie
"I'd like to talk to you about something later. Is that okay with you? You can pick when."
Jackson
"Okay. After dinner maybe, but I might change my mind."
Ms. Womzie
*smile* "That's fine."
Jackson
*goes up to bedroom, and closes door*
Ms. Womzie
*go back outside*
-
Thanks.
-
After about an hour later I am finally calm enough
To come out my room so I come out and just stare at the hallway for a minute the. Walk to the kitchen to get me something to eat
-
Sees my mom and looks at her and says
Mom Jackson was annoying me earlier.
-
Ally just don't talk to him If he is annoying you or tell him to stop annoying you
I don't know what to do you I have to deal with it when
He annoys me so I guess you have
To deal with it too I can't help you on
That. Why are you telling me
Go tell Jackson he was bothering you
Maybe he will stop
-
Okay
-
After Dinner
Jackson
"Okay Ms. Womzie. I'm ready to talk."
Ms. Womzie
"Good."
Ms. Womzie and Jackson
*go into room and shut door*
Ms. Womzie
"Jackson, do you have any idea what you want to do when you grow up, career wise?"
Jackson
"No."
Ms. Womzie
"So you have no idea if school is important for you or not."
Jackson
"Maybe."
Ms. Womzie
"If you end up in a career in which education is not important, having and education won't do any harm. If you decided later that you want a career that does require an education, then it might be too late to start trying. Right now it's not, so trying in school would be kind of like a safety procedure."
Jackson
"You might be right about that. Thanks."
Ms. Womzie
"You're welcome. So are you going to start trying?"
Jackson
"Probably. Is that all?"
Ms. Womzie
"For now, yes."
Jackson
*open door and leave*
