[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 498502"] Sometimes he gets over things really quickly, sometimes he can go on for hours about how he's been wronged by whoever he feels wronged him at that moment (usually easy child or me). Last year we had family over for mother in law's birthday and something triggered him and he went on for hours. He finally fell asleep on my bed, but not before leaving my mother in law in tears and saying that he didn't care that he ruined her birthday party because he didn't care about her. Not true, but it still hurt her to hear. Then there are mornings like today. It's over quick and we can get on with our day. I think it has alot to do with whether or not he feels he's being heard or whether or not he thinks that he's being treated fairly. If he thinks that either one of those is not the case it makes the tantrum worse. Of course, "fair" is in the eye of the beholder and he does not seem to understand that just because he perceives that something in not fair does mean that that is the case. [/QUOTE]
