[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 435955"] It could have also been the "change in mindset" that caused the problem. That is a biggie in our house. He had it in his head that he was going to watch a movie and your plan was to read a book. I have learned to compromise with difficult child about some of these more "minor" things. We have a night time routine but there is a little flexibility. Maybe next time try "How about if I read your brother for a little bit then you can watch your movie" OR "I'll read to your brother in my room so you can watch your movie in yours" OR "How about it I read to you guys tonight and you can watch your movie tomorrow night". Don't know if any of these would work but I have found it helps in our house for some things. [/QUOTE]
