[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 43106, member: 2423"] I often think our kids "self-destruct" when they feel the pressue to live up to high expectations. That may have happened to your difficult child today. I had very low expectations for today, and it turned out wonderfully. All I told my kids was that I wanted to spend Mother's Day with them. We took our dog and a picnic lunch (packed by husband!) to the park near our house, threw a baseball around, played on the swings and sat in the sun. My kids had fun (as did the dog), and I came home feeling relaxed from all that fresh air. Best of all, we had no meltdowns. Hugs! I hope tomorrow is a better day. [/QUOTE]
