[QUOTE="Fran, post: 381102, member: 3"] Terry, boring is not an excuse to sit 10 min. to have a hot meal given to you. What difficult child says something like that I remind him that comment can go both ways. We find his incessant chatter about one topic a little dry to our liking but out of respect to his interests we listen and try to respond or appreciate what he is saying. My other tactic is ask difficult child to be the parent and what would he do or say in a situation that you described. It helps them learn empathy and makes them involved in the process. It is always a surprise to difficult child that his response would be much sterner than mine. : ) You and husband are far from boring, besides it's an unacceptable excuse. He has to come up with a better one. Like raging fever or in the throws of a virulent intestinal bug. [/QUOTE]
