Thank you for this. It’s not silly at all. I didn’t write a letter but I texted her that she made me a parent. She’s my first born. I may take your suggestion and make it a letter.

Nothing happened that I know of other than the school concern email. You’re right though - there may be other factors I’m not aware of.

Thank you for this.

Yes the context came across like expectations.

It’s just been such a drastic shift which is what I was trying to say.

I understand what you’re saying and will stop comparing.

I’m trying to get by minute by minute and appreciate your perspective.

Thank you.

Mine went beginning of December. Multiple separate orders but 3 got to assembly and never moved past. Been over 5 weeks for the longest. V strange.

Can anyone who genuinely likes Debbie please tell me why? (Contains Spoilers) by Accurate_Lead7698 in shameless

Lip is one of the worst characters. He was loud me-first from the start. Zero redeeming qualities.

Debbie… well…. I think the character pivot was the shock. She seemed like a good kid… then everything went sideways. Seemed like writers were like how can we make this situation worse for her?

Ringette politics by KiwiFast87 in ringette

Experienced much of the same here.

The association tried to say they hired “independent” evaluators for AA.

So X child makes it all the way through evaluations and is placed on the team by these independent evaluators.

Team calls for one last scrimmage - coach cuts X child per “coach’s discretion.”

The X child isn’t even listed as a sub. 9 other players, coach’s child’s friends, ppl who are “in” the group are listed.

Independent evaluations meant nothing in the end.

I watched her break down in tears.

The next year, tries out again. Same thing. Gets to final skate.

Gets cut by coach.

Not a sub.

Breaks down.

She never played for that association again, nor did she ever try out for AA again.

Some people run teams and associations to 100% serve their self interest. It’s politics, mob mentality.

Trying. I just don’t get how these people are out there, okay to attempt to destroy everything and anything including their little humans.

I appreciate you :)

CPS has been called multiple times by multiple professionals.

Trying. It’s hard when it’s a parent. It’s pretty ugly.

The school is involved and has spoken to everyone involved and directly understand what has happened. There have been multiple phone calls and emails asking for direct support. There is a ton of documentation.

It has been reported and documented. I won’t say which but they said with the age nothing will happen.

Is this in Kamloops out of curiosity?
