[QUOTE="Malika, post: 475038, member: 11227"] Or what about... sorry, just thinking this through as I have to go and pick J up in 20 minutes, saying that the woman has asked me to come on Saturday instead? That is a lie, but no less of a lie than saying I have to work tomorrow (I always have to work!) and more likely to be accepted easily. I do resent this sense of treading on egg-shells, which I'm sure most if not all of you recognise, tip-toeing around the explosiveness... And yet I don't think it is good for J, let alone me, to go into a meltdown. His reactions are always so extreme, so intense... I find myself saying a lot "calm down" (advice I should take myself sometimes) or "hang on, you don't have to react like that, wait a minute..." because I honestly think it is better for his developing brain to avoid all this constant upset. Not to mention my already-developed brain... [/QUOTE]
