May the gods grant me patience...

before I do something to that boy.

Markl has been having attention issues again, all directed at Wolf. He blatantly ignored the man four times in half an hour yesterday until Wolf raised his voice. I could talk to Markl in a normal voice and he'd listen. We know the boy can hear! And let's not forget that BOTH pairs of glasses have been damaged in the last four days. The light blue pair popped a lens was due to a tag accident, the darker blue pair has the same arm looseness from before, which tells me that he's re-damaged them somehow. Wolf thinks it's because he rips them off his face like Perry White. Yet the light blue pair never suffered the same kind of damage. Those just popped lenses and lost screws. GRAR!!!

I think the not-listening is just another stage of acting out. We know he has an attention and concentration issue, the school has commented on it twice. My suspicion is that he's reacting to Becca in a typical manner. He's not the only one anymore. Add that to the fact he watches his cousins employ the same tactics with their parents with better results and, well, is it really a surprise?

Gods, I want out of this house!! Somebody see me as worthy of hire already!!!
