[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 41594, member: 3647"] Heather, I agree with you. I could not, NOT hug the kid if she needed a hug. Yes, I will tell her if I am still angry with her. While I am holding her to my shoulder, stoking her hair, I'll say "you know, you really hurt Mommy's feelings" or whatever. I don't know, I never even thought of it as an unconditional love thing. I just know that when she needs a hug, I give her a hug. Terry, I also agree with Heather that you are at your breaking point. You feel as though you are the only one trying to make sense of the situation, while husband is going along like it's nothing. KNow what? Maybe he has got something there. He certainly seems to have less stress. For example, here is how I might have handled the breakfast thing: If I had bacon and strawberries all sitting out, and difficult child decided she wanted cereal, I'd say "COOL! More bacon for me." The pill could have waited a minute or two. What I did was get the point across to her that she is not getting to me. Humor is a powerful thing. husband needs to show you some respect, to be sure. There needs to be a game plan. Big higs and prayers. [/QUOTE]
