[QUOTE="Andy, post: 220803, member: 5096"] Did today go better? Sharing lotion was really great! We walked away from a problem tonight. :) difficult child wanted to go shopping after school. He was looking for gift bag gifts for the boys in the classroom. However, if he gets for some, he has to get for all so I told him I will pick out some items for the girls. I asked how many there were and he said four. I named, E, F, S and couldn't think of the 4th one. To which difficult child responded in a not too nice tone, "We don't have to get for A!" I found flutes for 88 cents each and asked difficult child if I should get those for all the kids. "No, you can get them for the girls but not the boys!" He was in such a bad mood. I said, "Are you sure you are up to this tonight?" "What? Why?" "You are not in a good mood and you are not enjoying this. I think we should put everything back and do this another time. We are going to Fargo next Friday and can take the day off school to shop." He answered, "o.k. fine" We put everything back and went in search of easy child. difficult child then had an issue with the amount of the bill (way too high!!!) and he told easy child to put some of her stuff back. I told him that this will come out of her Christmas gifts. He then got madder and told her again to put stuff back. I told him it was none of his business and to drop it. UGH!! Oh well, I do look at it as a successful outing. We got out of there with no meltdowns, just anger. He is struggling tonight! [/QUOTE]
