[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 584222, member: 15810"] So husband comes home and asks how the kids were since they got home. I told him they were good, but difficult child is balking about going to school tomorrow. He goes in to talk to difficult child, ask him how is day was and difficult child launches into how his day "totally sucked" because he's really sick and he "would be happy if Mom would just let [him] stay home!" husband told him the same thing I did. Either he needs gone running a fever or vomiting before he can stay home. A few minutes later difficult child asks if he can talk to me, without dad there. I asked him if he was going to start calling me nasty names, and he said no. So he followed me into the kitchen and, again, asked if he could stay home. Again, I told him no. He starts in with how he wishes he had a mother who actually cared about him and how he was feeling, but I stood my ground. He walks out of the kitchen saying that he's not eating what I made for dinner (chili). husband said to me not to argue with him about it (I wasn't planning on, anyway) because he's just looking for a reason to fight with me. We sat done, easy child,husband, and me eating chili, while difficult child rummaged throughnthe fridge looking for leftovers that he wanted. He ate quietly, asked if he could have some chips, and went to his room. In a few minutes I'll go up and give him the cold medicine that the doctor told me to give him and, hopefully, he'll fall asleep without further incident. The only question that remains is if he will give me a hassle about goi g to school in the morning. [/QUOTE]
