[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 326172, member: 2459"] If you look for classes of some sort, look for specific ones. We had to take parenting classes when difficult child was in legal troubles. The class was, as a parent to a difficult child, a complete total joke. If it hadn't been court ordered I would have walked out after telling the instructor a thing or two. She commented to me a few times after I would question a method, that I was doing it wrong or not being consistant. Really? :rofl: Fortunately (for her) the classes were held at an agency we were dealing with and they knew difficult child. I think they pulled her aside and explained because after that she never said another word to me. I mean seriously, when the agency has ME view a parenting video to see if I think it would be helpful to "normal" parents, don't you think your pidly, common sense class is worthless??? There were also a couple in the class who smirked at everyone and said "Well WE do .....blah blah blah" and then would sit back like they knew it all. Uh huh.....you're such perfect grandparents doing your daughter in law such a favor by raising her child for her (the mom was in the class too and was treated the same way by these people) but yet....YOU are in this COURT ORDERED class too. Hmm.....guess you're not so perfect after all. People like that tick me off but you have to chuckle too. Obviously they are "bad parents" too otherwise they wouldn't be where you are. Idjits. There's nothing wrong with wanting something for you. Parenting is a hard job anyway and when you toss a difficult child or two in the mix...you get us. Don't feel selfish for wanting a chaotic free home or time to yourself. We all feel the same way. I don't know a code for a nice stiff drink but how's this? :toast: [/QUOTE]
