[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 589889, member: 15799"] It took saying "life isn't fair and it's never going to be fair so you're gonna have to learn to live with it" over and over and over and over ...get the picture? I also tell him about things that are unfair in MY life WHEN they happen, especially when he is present. For example, we were heading for a check-out line in WalMart. We saw this woman coming to the same line but when she saw us, she practically ran to get there before us. When difficult child 1 started complaining about the woman "budging", I simply said "yea, well, someday she's going to either end up at the end of a VERY long line or she's doing to fall and break a bone. No big deal. I'm not in THAT much of a hurry." It wasn't "fair" and I let him see it from MY point of view so he could learn that there are other perspectives. Get the idea? We still have problems like that come up once in a while, but for the most part, it's better. by the way, the WalMart lady ended up having to wait to get out of the parking lot because a truck with a trailer was waiting at the end of her aisle (she was behind it trying to get out) to turn after a bunch of cars went by....one of which was ours. LOL I pointed her out to difficult child 1 and explained the irony then we both laughed hysterically. It solidified my point in THAT situation. [/QUOTE]
