After School

Coco clearly needs structured activities after school until either Demi or I get home from work.  Today is the first days in months that he did not have practice after school.  He is predictable.  He comes home, forgets to take his medicine, brings food into into the living room, makes a mess, and watches TV.  He does nothing productive until confronted.  Then it takes an effort and a half to get him back on track.  Since he has missed his medicine, he becomes a problem.  He can't focus.  He can't control himself.  Mom and Dad are tired.  It is just a bad combination.
