[QUOTE="sjexpress, post: 526713"] OMG Bunny, if you did not just write about a scene we have in our house many times with difficult child! Even about how no one plays with him and we actually give him the same response about how he gets nasty and mean so why would we want to do things with him! If difficult child is mad about one thing, it rolls on to many different topics. I too can not leave easy child alone with difficult child when he is carrying on. When difficult child is in a mood and if he is raging at me or husband, the slightest thing easy child does or says makes difficult child direct his anger right at him, even if it has nothing to do about what is going on at the moment. I do find though that since difficult child wants to be heard, if I walk around the house and pretend to do things in another room, he will follow me. This way I sort of"lead" him away from easy child. (the only problem is that since easy child is nosey, he sometimes follows me too and I have to tell him to get back to where he was!) I also try my best not to actually have a conversation with difficult child when he is complianing and yelling about everything. I repeat the same thing over and over...sorry you are not happy or sorry you feel that way,etc.. I try not to egg him on with "that's not true...", or 'you're wrong". I also try to not shake my head 'no" or roll my eyes because then difficult child sees this. By the way, difficult child favorite phrase is also "shut up" as loudly and meanly as he can possible say it! This begins the second he realizes he is not getting the answer he wants or the minute easy child interjects. It's lovely, isn't it! I am sorry you began your day like this but at least he left for school and you have a few hrs now to yourself! Jan [/QUOTE]
