[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 460344, member: 11847"] A lot of ideas, and I appreciate them all... unfortunately I cannot ask my parents to stay in a hotel or any other arrangement. That would be the end of our relationship and I don't believe it is the answer. They are the only family we have, they are the only thing my kids have beside husband and I. (lots of relatives on my husband side, but long story short: barely any contacts). I believe, with time and patience, everyone will learn to coexist when they visit. All my 3 kids LOVE their grandparents, and even though they are not perfect (definitely not! lol), they mean well and LOVE us to death. It is hard for everyone right now but we are all learning. V also needs to learn to be around people and sort his emotions. It will take time but it is worth it: Nothing can replace family in my eyes. They come about every 5 months, hopefully by then I can come up with a written plan like Susie suggested. I do so much with intuition, it is sometimes hard to explain to my parents what comes natural to me. Even the therapist this afternoon asked me how I ended up being so intuitive with my kids when my parents are the opposite! Therapist asked if I gave any more thoughts to medications... I can't even bring myself to give melatonin anymore! It feels so wrong to medicate him... Probably the French culture coming back... She tells me V might make more progress if he does not get so overwhelmed, but she also tells me she believes he will make progress in his social skills just at a very slow pace. Despite every thing, I believe he is a happy little fellow. So maybe it is not wrong to follow an unmedicated slow pace. We have a whole year before kindergarten, he might make enough progress. Last, the thearapist also said she does not believe V will be diagnosis with autism. He surely has autistic traits but probably not enough... She said he is a bunch of different things but does not fit a single diagnosis. That surely makes it harder to educate myself, my parents and then the school in the future. [/QUOTE]
