Work and Home Challenges

School started again...today is day three. I am beginning a new schedule at work. I will be working Monday thru Friday from 7am to 2pm. I look forward to being off weekends. However, the week is going to be challenging. I have to get the girls to their school by 630 to attend before care...school starts @ 9pm for them. The to work by 7. I get off at 2 and will have an hour and 1/2 before having to pick them up. Since the school is not too far from work, it's pointless to go home first and then come back.
So we will be getting home around 430 each afternoon. Bedtime has been challenging, but if I stick to it..I am sure they will eventually tire of hearing the same speech night after night and come to enjoy the quiet time we will have together. Sometimes it's difficult to do this with Chris around. I love my son so much, but he is becoming increasingly more difficult to manage. He is vulgar, agressive and completely non compliant. I am out of ideas at this point. There is no calm in the home when he is here.
I feel bad because I don't know what to do and doctor's keep giving me the runaround.But something has to give. I need to do more research on thsi and get him the help he needs before it breaks the whole family apart.
