[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 67482"] I will never believe than an 8 year old child is bad for the sake of being bad or because he's a "bad seed". Being in such a strong, constant emotional state doesn't feel good, so why would they go out of their way to behave that way? The behavior is a symptom and, in my experience, all the spankings and time outs in the world aren't going to change it. Traditional parenting isn't effective with our kiddos. Every parent here has done the guilt thing - blamed ourselves...too strict, too lenient, too anything. You're not alone there. I encourage you to go ahead with the neuropsychologist evaluation. Get some answers and some guidance. If SO can't be on the same page, that's her decision. Whether you can live with that is your decision. I've been divorced and single for 10 years and I can't imagine parenting any other way. Being pulled in two directions has got to be difficult. Hang in there. Post as often as you need. We're here for each other. [/QUOTE]
