[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 431784, member: 11791"] Don't remember who said it, but... "It isn't the mountain ahead of you that wears you down so much as the grain of sand in your shoe." How can K1 actually put his snack dishes in the dishwasher, but leave the wrapper on the table... and the garbage can is beside dishwasher...??? Or the socks that don't make it into the laundry hamper... Maybe, deep down inside, we expect our difficult children to understand how much we're doing for them, and actually appreciate it by making life a little bit easier for us... and in reality, even "normal" kids don't get it until about 10-15 years later... when they have kids of their own. In fact, maybe part of what bugs us is that so many of these stupid little things are, in fact, "normal" - and we're just not equiped to deal with "normal"?? :groooansmileyf: [/QUOTE]
