[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 558564, member: 11791"] The biggest thing we ever did that got husband to really "see" the situation was when husband and difficult child worked side-by-side one summer. All the things I'd been saying about school started to happen before his eyes. Then things got ugly before they improved. Had to be "around" every hour or two, take the pulse, and intervene, intervene, intervene. Examples: Showed up with snacks every 2 hrs. husband thought that was a waste of time, until I got tied up and missed one... and difficult child's performance and attitude went majorly downhill. Now? husband provides snacks if I'm not available... It was like this with issue after issue after issue... it's taken a lot of effort for husband to see the whole picture, but he realizes now that I'm the one who spent night after night for years, doing all the research, and I'm the one who's been in most of the appointments, and I'm the one that difficult child talks to (when he talks)... Usually, guys are "hands-on" for learning... the tough part is when you can't get them involved. I've been more fortunate on THAT front - so no advice on how to get them involved. [/QUOTE]
