[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 76731, member: 2211"] My girls were the best of friends when they were little. difficult child was easy child's greatest fan and just about anything and everything that easy child did made difficult child crack up laughing. Then the rages began and difficult child's behavioral issues really came into glaring light. I know that gradually over the years (starting at about age 9/10 for difficult child) easy child's very presence seemed to bring out difficult child's worst tantrum. And easy child only seemed to get easier and better, which in turn aggravated difficult child even more. I sometimes wonder if easy child became such a severe easy child due to what was going on with difficult child at times. Hmmm... It is very hard to take easy child and difficult child together and at times we've traded off being with both of them at the same time (easy child feels that difficult child ruined our visit to see her in VA earlier this month). Sometimes one or the other opts out of an event and I am sometimes secretly grateful that I didn't have to split my personality to be with both of them at the same time! I think it stinks when one has to miss out on a fun time but sometimes we have no choice and we have to do what's better for everyone overall. If easy child won't mind missing the game, then go ahead and find her someplace else to spend the day. Jeesh - that's too bad, but you need your sanity (and you deserve to have an enjoyable day!).
