[QUOTE="Shari, post: 423319, member: 1848"] And yes, some days, you just fake it. The funny thing is, tho, even on those days you're "faking", you're practicing. I guess I was lucky in that my difficult child's were so willful from the beginning, I learned early on that we [I]never[/I] have control of another being. Ever. Even as tiny infants, if they want to cry, they will cry, and there is not a thing in the world that we can do that will [I]truly [B]make[/B] that baby stop (aside from the unthinkable). [/I]We might be able to adjust its environment and make it more comfortable or happy, and it [I]chooses[/I] to stop crying, thus we have [I]influence, [/I]but at no point do we ever [I]make[/I] it stop - we don't have that control, even then.
