[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 208514, member: 3419"] Marg, I'm sure those eagle photos are fantastic! LOL about not knowing you weren't moving to a new house on holiday. difficult child was like that a bit ... we'd go to a hotel, swim, etc., and then after we'd be home for a wk, he'd ask, "When are we going on vacation?" and everyone would look at him and say, "We just got back!" So we learned to do some of the things you do ... give him a heads-up, explain that "holiday" and "vacation" are often the same thing, that we will either stay at a hotel, B&B or a relative's home, and that there's no homework. When we said no school and no homework, the lightbulb went off, LOL! SRL, yes, we are demanding, in a sense. We want our kids to be high achieving and have the bar set high. I believe that my difficult child can go to college and live a successful life, and am prepared to give him the tools and teach him. In the meantime, he is so high functioning most of the time, we quite literally forget he's a difficult child! It's like living with-an alcoholic ... we're lulled into complacency, them BAM! it hits. Then there's the remorse and honeymoon period, then it starts all over again. So you're right in that we need to be more vigilant and more consistent, ESPECIALLY during holidays. This was a good lesson to learn. We will talk to difficult child about it today. husband should be home from his trip in about an hr. Right now difficult child is up to about 83 on his list of 200 X writing, "I am sorry for calling you a b*tch." :) by the way, he was very tired today ... slept until about 9 (10 b4 I changed the clocks back), took his pill, then went back to bed until about 11. He's got circles under his eyes and is clearly recovering from everything. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
