[QUOTE="Malika, post: 532460, member: 11227"] Thanks, Ktllc. Any thing that helps you/me/us stay calm in the eye of the storm is good :) Today, wouldn't you know it, J was his easy child self... good as gold all day, really sweet and helpful - apart from an episode at McDonalds where we go for lunch on Wednesdays when, after coming back to the play area having queued an age to get their McCardboard, a woman came up to me at once and asked him whether J was my son; when I said yes, she informed me that J had twice spat on her daughter and would I tell him to stop it!! When I quizzed him about it, he said he had seen another boy doing it... Today was our psychomotricien and sports day - involving me ferrying him around the place to the various activities with a long walk inbetween. Coming back home, he asked to go play with his friend in the village and accepted almost without a murmur when I said no... Once inside he set about "tidying up" and asking what he could do to help... Trying to think what, if anything at all, accounts for such a nice day as opposed to the less-than-nice one we had on Saturday, I can come up with only two possibilities. The first is that he slept very well last night, longer than usual, from 8 to 8 and the other is that... we were not around the village, where I realise I am somewhat paranoid about people hearing J be defiant and rude with me... my angst makes him all the more wound up and oppositional, of course. As it was we had a lovely day together, and he was very sweet and funny, and really... one would never know that not all in the garden is roses. And so it goes... [/QUOTE]
