[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 516579, member: 2315"] Bunny I think DF, Budddy and Kiesta gave very good advice. I used to deal with the same stuff with both my difficult child and husband. I stopped telling husband after a while because he either would not react appropriately or wouldn't react when he should and I had actually asked him to reinforce whatever stance I had taken. We went to therapy to try to get on the same page but my husband just didn't get it. I eventually gave up and just delt with things on my own. I really hope you and your husband can do better. It is so important to have a unified front when dealing with an explosive difficult child. Maybe just saying to husband that he can reinforce without yelling or punishing would help. Give him examples of what you mean. He could say something like: "difficult child your mother told me what happened this moning and I am proud of you for apologizing and admitting you were wrong. I know that is very hard to do and I sincerely hope you never have to apoligize to your mother again because poor behavior towards her. She loves you so much." [/QUOTE]
