[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 157300, member: 805"] CM, I think there is a point on both sides. Let me say first that my difficult child is the younger sib and there were many things I left him with a sitter for or his bonehead father so that it could be enjoyed by either easy child or myself. Two reasons. One, because he probably would not sit still and behave, and the other was pure selfishness - I wanted to enjoy myself without interuption. Having said that, I do also feel that there is benefit from your child learning to sit for things they don't enjoy without wreaking havoc on all! You have to pick and choose. I try and have the kids and I eat dinner in the dining room once a week - why? Because when we visit my mother (she's very, very formal) or someone person of that generation, or we go out to a nice rest to eat, I don't want to be embarassed. I think it is important that kids learn to put up with something they don't particularly enjoy from time to time. But you definately have to pick and choose!! Sharon [/QUOTE]
