[QUOTE="hamlet, post: 454902, member: 11970"] Not so fast... Things have taken a turn for the worse. Apparently Jack has informed other children in the neighborhood that difficult child stole the ipod touch. There have been several incidents of difficult child being harassed by other kids asking Jack, "Why are you friends with difficult child? He stole your ipod touch!" Jack did not stand up for difficult child or say, "We got past that." Apparently we are not past it. I told Jack I'm fine with him being in our house. I was looking for an opportunity for all of us to sit down and just have a chat about leaving the situation behind us, but that didn't happen fast enough. Today Jack and difficult child had a fist fight. Both claim the other started it. There was no blood and not even any bruising, but just a few red marks. No adult was present, but right before the fight happened I was having a talk with difficult child over lunch about being friends with everyone in the neighborhood. I told him he should try to rise above the teasing and offer the olive branch, to "kill them with kindness." I was hoping it would occur under controlled circumstances with me present, but difficult child saw the kids in the vacant lot and approached them. Fighting ensued. I think that Jack is clearly having problems and I wonder how upfront and honest Jane was being with me. I tried to talk to older brother, but he was repeating what the neighborhood kids told him, which was false. Older brother was challenging me; he was sarcastic and demeaning, so I told him I would need to discuss it with Jane. Poor difficult child is absolutely despondent. He feels the whole neighborhood is against him, and, in fact, that's how it looks. Sigh, it is so HARD to be a difficult child! [/QUOTE]
