Shelley's Diary Entries

Diary Navigation:

February 16, 2000


I'm at my wit's end with Cory. We've been battling over his school lunches since he started garde two. I pack him a sandwich, fruit, cookies, a treat ... all he eats is the treat and usually the cookies. He says he's sick of sandwiches but rejects all the alternatives I give him. And if I don't pack him treats and cookies to try to force him to eat the healthy stuff, he doesn't eat anything. I don't know what to do anymore....

He's also obsessed with divorce. Every time Tony and I argue he says, "Oh, I guess now you're getting a divorce." It all seems a little strange. No one in either of our families is divorced (except my dad -- my mom's his second wife -- but Cory doesn't know that). I asked him if any of his friends' parents were getting a divorce and he said no and then launched into a lengthy description of one of his friend's cuts. Yuck. So, I think it may be from the little 5-year-old I watch, he comes from a very broken home. It's funny, he hears us argue and always assumes the worst ... I finally told him that his dad and I aren't splitting up and no to worry every time we argue.

But if anyone has lunch advice, I'd really appreciate it!!
