[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 172949"] Did he know he was going for respite or did you tell him it was a sleep over kind of thing? We haven't had formal respite, but I know if I tell difficult child that she's going to my mom's because we need a break from each other (how I worded it in the past...or I've said that I need some grown-up time) she does horribly. If she wants to go or if my mom invites her, it's completely different. Something about 'being sent away', I guess. I agree that it wasn't a total bust. I know you hoped it went better, but hopefully once it becomes more comfortable he'll feel better about. It feels strange to be in someone else's house (whom you don't know) and following someone else's rules. Keeping a good thought that it gets better. [/QUOTE]
