[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 196759, member: 3419"] Is it the lack of structure? Did he play video games? Eat wheat or dairy? difficult child was horrendous this weekend. Woke up Sat. in a foul mood. He's getting a cold but that doesn't explain his lack of respect and his overall horrid mood... the kind where he gets those dark circles under his eyes and refuses to make eye contact (hardly ate dinner and turned his back to us). He refused to do his homework, finally did his math redo while he was watching TV (I do not allow that but husband does, sigh), and didn't do his social studies until 8:30 Sun. night. (He's supposed to watch 4 presidential ads, 2 ea for McCain and Obama, and write info about propaganda, emotional words, facts, etc. He watched cartoons for 1 hr and no pres commercial came on--uh duh--kids don't vote! so he went up to my computer and watched them online from a political site, but at that point he had crumpled of the paper and thrown it on the floor.) He raged Sun. night, wrecked his room ... took his medications around 7:30 but they didn't make him sleepy ... he played with-his action figures until well after 10:30 and we just had to walk away and hope he would go to sleep because the rest of us were exhausted. He's been taking his medications very nicely, and all last wk was an absolute angel. This a.m. he was grumpy but not as bad as yesterday. I've got my fingers crossed for school, and his baseball game tonight. This unpredictability is driving me nuts. And the gloom ... you can walk into the room and just [I]feel[/I] it, even if you don't know he's around. I mean, it's like you get goosebumps and a sick feeling in your stomach, and then you see him sitting there and say, Oh, that explains it ... [/QUOTE]
