[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 231335, member: 805"] Hey Sharon, glad you got the results and there is the beginning of plan. Like the others have said, sleep deprevation causes [B]everyone[/B] to be on edge - difficult children, typical kids, and adults! Perhaps this weekend, rather than a big weekend end away which you can't do right now, you and husband should takes turns and give each other about four hours alone. One of you on Sat and one on Sun. Take your time and go to a movie, then a bookstore and sit and relax or something. Just getting a few hours away always seems to recharge my battery. I think you guys are dong the right thing by beginning to raise the bar for difficult child. It's scary, I know, I've been there too. For a number of years I was so afraid of difficult child backsliding into the raging or deep depression, that I made allowances for things I would never have allowed my easy child to get away with. There are still times I cringe before making a request (which of course he will see as a demand) for fear of what the consequence will be. But as most of us have seen, consistancy in expectations and consequences can often make forward strides. Hugs to you friend, Sharon [/QUOTE]
