[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 561503, member: 3419"] I hear you! That sounds so familiar. Reading your note, the only thing I can figure out (and with a lot of help from the other comments) is that he was overtired and overly sensitive to perceived criticism and what we would perceive as a minor change in routine. It is soooo hard to figure it all out! If I could go back in time, I would be much more alert to my son's issues, but then we don't know until it's over with ... life is not fair. The good thing is that you said he is very forgiving so all should be well tomorrow. When he next brushes his teeth (not in the morning, but later this week), after you've congratulated him on how clean his teeth are and how fresh his breath smells, and ask him if you said something that hurt him to cause a meltdown. He will probably tell you. Don't pester him about it, just let him say it quickly and then move on to another topic. In the meantime, I agree with-the others here, do not beat up on yourself. These things happen. [/QUOTE]
