Yesterday DD1 (12) was sent home from school after having diarrhoea. She told me that her teacher had said she couldn't come back the day after, because of hygiene reasons, which seemed perfectly reasonable.
Now she is downstairs having a raging tantrum because wants to go to school now and she can't go. Because she LIED. The teacher said no such thing and now she is incandescent with rage. She has hit me, she has hit her sister. She's screaming the house down and raging.
It's too late for her to go to school. I have sent her back to bed but I am livid and I can's think straight. Before I go downstairs and pack all her things into a sack and set light to them in the back garden, can someone tell me what kind of consequence you might impose for this? Because I am so close to violence it is ridiculous.
I am speechless that she's taken it so far this time.

I am too cross to think straight. Please come along with calmness and morning gin.
