[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 33809, member: 45"] My difficult child, who's 10, just did this in the backyard last week! Bad thing was, we had about 5 of his and easy child's friends over playing soccer. He walked off and started turning rocks over to find frogs, and next thing I know he's squatting by a bush with his pants down. He only sort of hid himself by the bush, but luckily I was the only one who saw his pants halfway down. He didn't seem to be embarrassed that I had caught him. Luckily, he was worried that I would tell everybody. I'm with you on your feelings of just being tired. That's where I'm at. The house is a disaster because I can't take 5 minutes to load the dishwasher or fold the clothes. With one difficult child and two "PCs" who are very stubborn and ADHD-ish, it takes an hour of reminding and yelling and threatening and grounding to get them to help even for a half hour. They would rather sit on the couch grounded from doing anything all day than pick up their books or help fold some clothese that will take about 10 minutes. I hardly even try to get difficult child to do anything because he will get so mad and then sabotage anyone's attempts at cleaning. All the while I have to try to remember that difficult child won't respond well to negative reinforcements and and I have to detach because he isn't doing this on purpose. When all I really want to do is just tell him to clean his room and then wa-la, he's in there at least pretending to clean his room and my house is fit for human habitation. Linda [/QUOTE]
