[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 224761, member: 3419"] Thank you. What does it mean when you wake up and your eyeballs hurt? Sigh. difficult child woke me up by shoving his "I am sorry I hurt you" 20X list in my nose. Literally. Then he launched into an explanation of how it was all a big misunderstanding. And, best of all, look at this Mom, you'll love this part--read the bottom--it says "Dad says I can have the PS2 back if I explain to you what happened in a kind way." Say WHAT? When did he talk to husband? And why did husband go against our plan last night, to take all electronics away from difficult child until further notice? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ***(Opps, I just talked to husband on the phone on his way from the gym. He hadn't talked to difficult child this a.m. and he was upset that difficult child brought him into the issue. Then difficult child interrupted our ph conversation, shouting that he never said that. Ah ha!) Now I've got difficult child writing, 20X, "You and Dad are in charge." After he finishes that, I'm going to have him write, "I will not negotiate." Hey, at least he's got beautiful handwriting! And he finished his chores. Sort of. I have to stay calm. I can feel my heart racing already. Oh, I forgot to tell you--he showed me fingernail marks on his wrists, where I grabbed him. Apparently I didn't swing or hit him, I "fingernailed" him, like a girl. It's actually kind of funny, in a weird kind of way. Then he says he was simply trying to get the controller away from me and if I had just listened to him saying, "Just a minute," none of this would have happened, so it was just a big misunderstanding. Never mind that he had that mean, glassy eyed look and was ready to tear me limb from limb, and that he flew out of his chair to grab the controller, and "Wait" was shouted in a hoarse, attack voice. You all know how that goes. He's going to be a lawyer. I just know it. Susie, he doesn't have Internet access. :) Thanks, luvmyottb. Shari, I am definitely going to need that armor. The fact that it's dented makes all the more valuable. :) [/QUOTE]
