[QUOTE="flutterby96, post: 61011, member: 3922"] Hi, I've been "lurking" under the radar for a few weeks... ever since my 4yo difficult child was diag with-ODD & possible depression/anxiety issues. But, unfortunately, today is the day to post because I'm at the end of my rope. We just got kicked out of McDonald's and I'm beyond embarrassed, frustrated, angry, discouraged... you name it! Long story short, I was attempting to deal with a temper tantrum with my 3yo son (who is my easy child, ironically) and it just kept escalating until I was having to bear hug him to keep him under control. Apparently some of the other patrons weren't very accepting of my methods. In retrospect, I should've just left as soon as the tantrum started. But, I was anticipating a meltdown from my difficult child daughter & I can't exactly handle 2 out-of-control preschoolers on my own. So, I thought I'd nip my son's tantrum quickly so that I could give my full strength & attn to what I expected to be a less than easy departure scene with-my difficult child. Usually, my son responds to discipline fairly quickly... but, not today. Anyway, thanks for giving me a place to post this. I'm a member on another message board for parents, but apparently nobody there has "problem" children. I posted to see if anyone else had a child with-ODD & it's been 2 weeks with no response. Must be nice to have such perfect children... [/QUOTE]
