Ok so difficult child and middle kid easy child started back school. It has been tons of ups and downs. difficult child has chewed through at least 4 pencils and almost eaten a bag of mints. (he chews when he is nervous and 1 teacher has mints to hand him if she thinks he is nervous)
Our huge problem and the reason I am writing is that difficult child will be happy and joking around right before we head to school and at school he is fine, but the 15 minute car ride to school is absolutely h e double hockey sticks. He fights, argues, berates, and squalls about how I don't love him and I don't even want him.
I refuse to fight with him and I will not try 1,000,000 times to prove to him I love him. When he is not in manic mode he reminds me that I have told him that regardless of what he does he can not stop my love for him, so I know he knows I love him.
Any suggestions on how to make this easier? His idea is to play his ds all the way to school. So far I have said no to that. Ideas please
