[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 291273, member: 3419"] Ooohhh, I do NOT miss those days! My son is 12 and just the other day, he had a fit (at home) when I brought him an Angus beef burger from McD's instead of 2 single burgers (with-o buns of course). He got angry and I just walked away. (It was less expensive to get the large burger than 2 small ones.) 10 min later, he had, of course, eaten it, and in a calm voice, said he liked the others better. He just hates change. And not getting things according to his timetable. You know, I notice a lot of similarities between my difficult child's lack of understanding of time and tasks, and my dad's lack of understanding. My dad has Alzheimer's. He doesn't "get" that when the waiter takes his order, he had to type it into the computer, and then the kitchen or bar person reads it and fills it, and then the waiter has to go back and get it. It's like he thinks the waiter can snap his fingers and have a tray filled with-food right there. Someone's going to do a study on that some day ... [/QUOTE]
