[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 433228, member: 1550"] When we first adopted Sonic, he would rage in public. Once he got away from me and went running ahead of me in a mall and I had to chase him while he screamed like he was being abducted by a crazy lady. Now this may not have been such a big deal normally, however he is black and I am white so it probably COULD have looked like I was trying to abduct a little boy who was not my own. When I finally caught him, he started hitting me and screaming like a wild animal *sigh*. I guess I"m saying that I know how you feel. I totally expected somebody to pull out a cell phone and call social services or the police. Nobody likes it when their child acts up in public. You are only being human. I have nothing to offer but my empathy. I think you do grow a thicker skin as time goes on and often (not always) our kids do learn to hold it together in public. About the business card: I wish they had had that when Sonic was little. I think it would have been easier when some "well meaning" person tried to give me advice. I really like that idea. Hugs :) [/QUOTE]
