[QUOTE="Steely, post: 155109, member: 3301"] Go with your gut on the school thing. I had many times when I knew he was gonna have a bad day, and he did - after awhile I realized I probably should just act on my instinct and keep him home. His behavior was signaling to me that he needed a day of respite, a day needed to glue his mind back together. My kid STILL talks smack 24/7 - and it drives me insane!!!!! Hate it! Despise it! It pushes every button I have. (My disdain probably makes the issue worse, I know). I have found no solutions other than to refuse to be in the same room with him when he is talking like he is king of the world. Sometimes I do think his smack talk comes from a bit of grandiosity fueled by mania. I have learned over the years his "talk" comes more back to earth, (not totally) when he is grounded and in a good mental place. [/QUOTE]
