[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 226901, member: 3444"] Marg, your uncannily astute observations on human behavior never cease to amaze me! I'd love to have you come here and be a fly on the wall when husband's family is around to help me figure out the insanity sometime :D When people are stressed and anxious, it's very easy for them to be contradictory. Your mother in law sounds a lot like my mother in law and how she treats people, especially difficult child's. It makes for very confusing and frustrating interactions. Rotsne & Lizzie, I'm glad the winter weather there is nice enough for you to go out today :D Wakeupcall, it's definitely a sign of too much (fill in the blank) when people in my house (difficult child's or otherwise) start to fall apart over minor things. Maybe some exercise would help your difficult child's ability to cope through all this! If he doesn't want to do something fun, you could assign him a chore that involves a little sweat, Know what I mean?? Wiped Out, I vote for sending husband and the kids out for a walk (weather permitting) while you take a bubble bath and a nap! ML, I'm sure Manster will ultimately feel better once he gets going outside, despite his loud protests now. :D I just told easy child no Gameboy or TV today, and she immediately started moaning (big suprise).
