mansplaining
Today I got mansplained and I feel absolutely disgusted. Let's talk about it. In the medical field doctors are stuck the pluck up, you feel me? So if THEY aren't the ones coming up with the diagnosis, it's obviously not correct. Now I came to him three years ago concerning this concern I had and he wrote me off. To be quite clear he said "all children do this *thing* it's normal" and now three years later I'm finding out I WAS RIGHT AND MY CONCERNS WERE VALID. OH MY FLIPPING WAFFLE TARTS (really trying to avoid cursing today). I have a team of licensed medical fucking professionals and educators who all see the same fucking thing I did THREE GODDAMN YEARS AGO and he says "oh they're wrong but I'll give you a referral anyway because I don't want you to panic"
WHAT IN THE EVERLOVING FUCKING ASSWAFFLELOVING WORLD??? He then proceeded to mansplain me about the *thing* we were there for conveniently forgetting THATS WHAT I'M IN FUCKING SCHOOL FOR and those are the students I work with. When I finally sat straight he just looked dumbfounded. Like sir I'm getting my goddamn bachelors AND masters in this why are you trying to play me??
I am beyond annoyed today. I'm just trying to get some answers so I can help my son. Like don't jerk me around.
In other news, my baby is completely, totally and utterly registered for kindergarten
*bursts into tears*
-dramatically falls onto the sofa sobbing-
okay I'm done, sigh it came too soon. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to do the first day solo. Doing the first day of HeadStart with my parents was hard, just a glaring reminder of LSD walking away to play daddy to someone else instead of being a man/father to his own kid. So I'm doing kinder just me and Ezra, I think he deserves to know that I've got this. Plus I hate people asking me how I'm feeling about stuff, it just make me want to cry smh.
In bad poetry news, the poetry is shockingly not bad? I'm actually pleased with how the pieces are turning out. I'm so happy my two friends are doing this "challenge" with me. We all have different reasons but it's still a really great way to bond with each other.
I am tired.
