[QUOTE="Amity, post: 718156, member: 22179"] I can only say what it sounds like to me. It sounds like going to the hospital had him fear you leaving him behind. I am sure a new baby exasperates that too. The fact that he is acting out to see how far you are willing to let him go before you act is just the same as a toddler doing something to find out where the limits are. If you can let him know how much he is loved and no matter what he is your son. No matter where he goes or what he does that will never change. That he is loved no matter what too. He is needed now more than ever to help and you are trusting him to help you make you all a family. After all he is still a child and has child like thoughts. Pushing you is like throwing a rock in a pond. look what I can do. Maybe there is another thing that you can find for him to do that doesn't feel like a commanded chore. that chore is just do this because I said so and it needs done kinda thing after all. He likely needs to see his worth in the family dynamics. All well and good i'm sure. Difficult children make things way more interesting in any type of household! Congrates on new baby! [/QUOTE]
