[QUOTE="happy, post: 398530"] Wow, a lot to take in here. Thanks for the responses. I'm so confused and don't know which way to turn. My son wanted to play Wii this morning and all I said was." Today I want your laundry" and he grabbed his hair and made a mean face and was pulling his hair. WTH?? He said,"It's going to take all day to do my laundry" ready to cry. I told him to stop. I said," You didn't even listen to what I had to say and your pulling your hair? stop now. Today you just need to put your folded laundry away and write your 10 sentences for school." I said it in a calm fashion. He got his Wii and was fine. Is he over dramatic? I always think that but to react that way-I don't know? My son would like to be a Monster Truck Driver for Grave Digger.
