[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 651875, member: 15810"] And last night was a perfect example! Difficult Child had a fantastic day! The two kids played football outside after Easy Child finished his homework (and even that I supervise closely, watching out the window just in case something happens), and then they were playing a computer game. They went their separate ways before dinner, for no reason other than Difficult Child just wanted to do his own thing. We ate, and I got up from the table to start cleaning up, and when something happened while my back was turned. Something small, but whatever it was it set Difficult Child off, and he was screaming at Easy Child, slamming his glass down on the table. It all turned in a matter of seconds!! Fortunately, their dad was home, and he came upstairs (he's an accountant and had gone downstairs to do some work on tax returns) when he heard the commotion. I gave Difficult Child his medications, which he took willingly, and then he stormed upstairs. By then, Easy Child was crying because he didn't want to go upstairs to take his shower because he was afraid that Difficult Child would do something to him, so I made my husband go upstairs with him to make sure that nothing happened. I told H that this was a prime example of why I won't leave them alone together. Seconds was all it took to go from laughing to screaming. Seconds!! [/QUOTE]
