[QUOTE="4timmy, post: 236703, member: 6553"] Don't have answers, only support..... I can't take my difficult child anywhere with me. Especially work..... and no, it's not too much to ask, but with our kids, maybe it is. This has always been a confusing issue for me to deal with. It's ALWAYS all about them. Following is one of my stories to show YOU ARE NOT ALONE. One time when I lost my mind for a minute, I took difficult child with me to take the Dog to the Vet because he wanted to go. As soon as we got into the little room where the Vet comes in to examine the Dog, difficult child takes off. Says he has to go to the restroom. After about 5 minutes and talking to the Vet, no difficult child. I leave the room and go back to the bathroom looking for him. No difficult child. Pretty soon I have the entire staff at the Vet's office looking for him (yes, embarrassing). 2 minutes later, here he comes from their upstairs offices!!!! He had been snooping in their private work areas!! I tried not to make a scene and asked him to get back in the room with me and wait for the Vet to finish examining our Dog. He decides, no, I'll sit in the waiting room.... AAAAAHHHHH!! At this point, I'm ready to pull my hair out. Ok, so I tell him to sit in the waiting room and to NOT LEAVE. He had been obsessing about seeing this graveyard located behind our Vet's office when we came in and I told him that I'd take him through the graveyard (settle his curiousity) some other day when the weather was nicer.
