[QUOTE="Andy, post: 186527, member: 5096"] I agree with the others. I would pull over ASAP. I have left the car 2 blocks from home and made the kids walk home when their riding behavior was nasty. That is not fair to the 8 yr old and 4 yr old but I don't know that you would want difficult child walking home alone and when you leave the car behind, it sends a stronger message, "I will not drive when it is not safe." My kids were so concerned about the car being left. Once a neighbor said, "difficult child probably liked the walk home." My reply was, "Not with mom lecturing all the way home." But you do not have to say anything - a silent anger also speaks volumes. Your 8 yr old and 4 yr old may not like it, but they will be glad you are doing something about their sibling's nasty behavior - not letting difficult child get away with it. You can also find an empty parking lot and make everyone get out and sit until they all believe they are able to ride again. Sending you strength. Stay strong - show no fear - don't let difficult child bring you into an emotion, that is a way to get your attention of whatever you need to focus on. [/QUOTE]
