[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 488204"] I'm another one who disagree with your partner. It's not that you're a failure as a parent. It's just that he is wired a little differently than the other kids. If you were really that bad of a parent the older kids would be behaving this way, too. Get your son evaluated and see what they say. You never know what will come up. And my son is just like yours: school angel, home devil. When I tell the teachers what he behaves like at home they look at me like I have two heads and am from Mars. He's perfect in school, so they can imagine that he's not perfect everywhere else. I get that part, and it's very frustrating. As far as the clothes are concerned, I fall squarely into the "pick your battles" corner. Since difficult child was about 3 or 4 he has wanted to sleep in his clothes. For me, I just could not be bothered to fight with him. As long as he put clean clothes on in the morning he could sleep in whatever he wanted. difficult child used to fight with me about his clothes, too. Then I told him that he could pick what he wanted to wear, as long as when he picked a pair of pants, he had to wear the shirt that went with it (this was when he was young and everything had something that went with it). Once he realized that he had come control over what he could wear, getting him dressed became much easier. Not that we still didn't have clothing issues sometimes, but they were a little fewer and father between. [/QUOTE]
