[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 445002, member: 3419"] I hear you! This is so typical. You are the one he spends the most time with. For the longest time, my husband thought I was either complaining too much about "typical boy" behavior, or that I was too sensitive. And then, after therapy, I took the therapist's advice and began to take entire days off, and weeks off, to visit with-friends or stay at a hotel by myself. Guess what happened? husband got a boatload of ^($*. Your son uses up all of his patience and skills with-other people. Plus, they probably don't make him do stuff, like pick up his messes, do homework, etc. Moms are usually the bad guys. And, as you mentioned in your note, he wanted you to carry something and you wouldn't. He expects more out of you because you're his mom. It's so hard to see when you're in the middle of it. I still have a hard time not taking it personally. One half of my brain tells me, in an intellectual way, xyz chapter of such and such a book says this is typical. The other half is screaming, "IT'S NOT FAIR!" [/QUOTE]
