Preparing for your child’s IEP can be stressful enough, but the morning before your meeting, can drive you crazy. You talk to your friends, you talk to your family; worries and fears run through your mind. Some things are said, some are unsaid. Here are just a few of the many things wives say to their husbands before their child’s IEP meeting.
Honey, do I look intimidating in this?
Do you remember what today is?
Stop reading those IEP goals at the breakfast table and talk to me.
Write your own Parent Input Statement; what do I look like your mother?
If you don’t have anything nice to say, say it to the Special Ed Director.
What is better to kick their asses with, open-toed or pumps?
If you take so much as a sniff of their donuts, you’re a dead man.
Remember that look you gave me when I totalled the new car, I want to see it on your face at this meeting.
Remember when we were dating and you said you’d go to the ends of the earth for me? Consider this meeting, Greenland.
Remember APE is not a fraternity.
Yes dear, your child is just like you, that’s why we’re asking for more communication goals.
If you don’t know what’s wrong with your child’s IEP, I’m not going to tell you.
Think of it like going to a hockey game, there are goals and there might be blood shed.
If you wear that “I’m with stupid” t-shirt to this IEP meeting, the arrow had better be pointing to the Special Ed Director.
Why don’t the school people like me?
No, I don’t have PMS, I’m justifiably mad at the school district!
I was great to laugh on Friday morning. Thank you, Lori, for the intimate humor.
