[QUOTE="tired Cheryl, post: 79783, member: 4109"] Hi, Hopefloats: Sorry for you as I can feel your pain. I hate that I am so sensitive to the stares and mean looks but that is me, private and quiet, well at least I was before difficult child. I think my most embarrassing incident to date with difficult child was the time he pulled the fire alarm during Mass. That was last year when we were still attempting to attend chuch together as a family (his behavior was too disruptive for the chuch babysitting). I would was in the front lobby part of the church so that he could make noise and walk around and I turned my head for a spilt second in order to pick up a mess that he was making with the church bulletins to see in horror out of the corner of my eye him pulling the alarm. I had the entire church giving me "that look" and I was humiliated. Two weeks ago at the food court at the Children's Hospital, I turned my head to answer my ringing cell phone (like 5 seconds) and I find him across the food court at the condiment station wearing nothing but underwear and socks!!!! So, even at a place that has it's far share of non-perfect children everyone was staring at US!! People just do not understand how quick and determined he is. They look at me like I cannot control him and they are right most times I cannot despite trying and appearing like I am not so he does not resist more. I have no problem with my easy child or family/friend's kids. Just difficult child...and he knows it. I'm still waiting for the thick skin so I can deal with the stares. Hang in there.
