[QUOTE="busywend, post: 74027, member: 391"] Welcome! You really needed to find us! LOL! First things first: when you have difficult children you can NOT take ANYTHING they say personally. It is very difficult to get over some of their hurtful words and actions. It take a long time to let it roll off your back - but you better start learning it quick! I am so sad that you have not gotten to do any of the things you enjoy doing. You should be doing those things. It shows children that adults have interests other than them. If they are forced to wait a bit while you finish stirring the pot, it does teach them patience and respect. Granted, it probably takes a difficult child longer to learn it - but it will be something they teach their own kids someday. It is important to have your own interests. It is equally, if not more important, for you to get some sort of break from the kids. You must get out and do something for yourself. Go sit at Barnes & Noble with a cup of coffee and read some books. Something to make you smile - while you are anticipating going and when you get back. [/QUOTE]
