[QUOTE="Christy, post: 173054, member: 225"] You are showing an incredibly positive attitude. Good for you. I know how this can be. I was just visiting the Baltimore Aquarium with my son, my dad and his new girlfriend. difficult child did well by difficult child standads, a lot of running ahead, pushing his way in front of others, I always feel like I'm walking an untrained saint benard. He had a meltdown over the gift shop and it made for a long and difficult trip to the car. The rest of his day was horrible. He kept melting down and was sent to bed early. I hate how even good times usually end up bad because too much stimulation is so hard for difficult child to handle. Now for the positives, he is truly facinated by science and animals. He was able to identify the sharks by sight from books that he has read :) He actually stops and listens to the educational tidbits that the volunteers are trying to share. He found the dolphin show and the 4D theater delightful and it's so nice to see him smile and hear him giggle. Despite the meltdown, he was very pleasant on the car ride home. At one point, during the gift shop fiasco, he screamed, "I hate you mom" and ran away from me and YET, I would chalk this up as a good day with many fond memories. I guess we difficult child moms have a different rating system than most! I am sorry that the school has put you in a difficult situation with field trips. On the other hand, I would be a nervous wreck if my son was on a field trip with teachers who did not feel they could handle him. I hope you will be able to find a solution. Maintaining a work schedule with a difficult child is no easy task. Any chance you can get another relative to take him or hire a sitter to go with the school? Just throwing out ideas. Good luck.
