[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 584068"] I can tell you why difficult child 1 loses it over small things. Because what I'm wanting him to do doesn't match what he thinks should happen. Your laundry example happens over and over at our house. His ideas and mine clashing. He wants to watch netflix while eating I say no. He tries to talk his siblings into it. He gets in trouble. He tells his siblings what we will watch during dinner. He gets in more trouble. He tries to negotiate if he is good can they watch? What if they are all good? It is exhausting and knowing why often doesn't make it any easier to live with. There are times I just need a break. Not because difficult child 1 has done anything major wrong but its all the little things that wear me down. So he gets sent to his room to play or read a book while I de-stress and try to get to a mental state where I'm not yelling at everyone. [/QUOTE]
