[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 484705, member: 1169"] We jumped through all those hoops with Kanga. The problem is that these kids are bottomless pits of demands. We'd agree in family therapy to do xyz. Then she'd complain that we didn't do abc. (For example, we'd agree to let her come with to the mall when I needed to buy a gift for someone, but she'd complain cause I didn't buy her a gift to, cause she 'helped' me shop.) We stopped twisting ourselves in knots for her a long time ago. Nothing ever met her incredible need to be worshipped so why should the rest of us suffer when it didn't help anyway. With Eeyore, Piglet and Tigger, having special time with each parent helps immensely. They doesn't care if it is food shopping or buying them a video game at the thrift store for $1. They loves the one on one time with each of us. I think that is the biggest difference between a difficult child and an extreme-difficult child. [/QUOTE]
