[QUOTE="BellJar, post: 476523, member: 13068"] Thank you all SO much for your feedback. Not only for the useful advice but you have no idea how much of a relief it is to know I'm not alone, and maybe I'm not just totally messing everything up. (Actually, I'm sure you all do know :p ) Poe goes up and down. Some mornings he's great and so cooperative. Other mornings it's just awful. I remember when he was back in kindergarten and would refuse to go to school. One morning I got him out the door but it was about a mile long walk back then and we only made it a block before he totally melted down and started hitting me. Went home in tears and called the school to tell them that I couldn't make my kindergartner go. Now that I remember that, refusing to brush his teeth doesn't sound so bad. But as much as I want to say it's gotten better, Poe lost it again the other day though, hit his karate instructor, and to top it all off we just found out that in order for him to have his assessment done at the development center here we have to come up with a $300 deductible and a good deal of the costs on top of that as well because the center is 'out of our network'. They are the only ones in our whole town who do this kind of testing on a child - if they are out of our network who in the world is IN our network? We plan to fight this with the insurance company but in the meantime we had to cancel Poe's appointment because there is no way we have that kind of money right now. If it's not one thing, it's another... [/QUOTE]
