[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 394418, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]You know Terry, so much of this sounds like attachment issues (combined with all the other stuff). I'm not suggesting a diagnosis ~ it's all very familiar. Your difficult child sounds so much like a wm wannabe. (Not trying to scare you, my dear - really I'm not.) As to looking back & changing things I really wouldn't waste my time or emotional energy on such things. I would get caught up in that on various occasions & it accomplished was to deplete my emotional resources & physical energy. I did what I could at the time with the information I had on hand. That's all any parent can do. I would expect no less from you. I hope you find some kind of solution to your difficult children continual arguing. I will mention that I took things down to a bare minimum with both kt & wm. I picked my battles very very wisely. I didn't care if wm lost sleep over some game ~ however he wasn't to blame me or others for his actions the next day due to the lack of sleep. It was his choice to stay up & play. I gave wm his choice, the consequences for that choice & held him to it. He hated every minute of being tired & being reminded that he couldn't blame anyone but himself. School was in on it as well - united front. Good luck, sweetie. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
