[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 285130, member: 1233"] I think that every single one of us has fallen into the situation you ended up in. I did quite a number of times I am sure. It is by comparing notes that we can figure out a way to handle what our kids come up with, LOL! In the vein of comparing notes, Wiz used to have a bizarre belief that sort of fits here. When he was in first to fourth grade he was always SO curious about New Year's Eve, and adults staying up to midnight. He simply could NOT image what we were doing, with most adults being up so late. He got it into his head that adults stayed up late on New Year's Eve to compare notes about our kids and think up new ways to make them totally miserable in the coming year!!!!!! Once the thought of it, it became part of his "reality" for quite a while. I found it to be a RIOT!!!! I almost wished it was true, at least at times, because then I might have had some idea how to cope with him!!! Just remember, you are allowed to change the rules with NO WARNING. It actually is a good thing, because it can help our aspies learn to handle the unexpected. And there are very few mistakes you will make that you will be the only one who ever makes. Usually there is another parent around who has already screwed up similarly and can commiserate! [/QUOTE]
