[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 423477, member: 11791"] Would never call husband a difficult child. Ever. Remember that old Ann Landers quote? "Are you better off with him or without him?" I vote "better off with". So, still together 20+ years later. BUT... probably Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD), likely ADHD, maybe some depression. So, there are times when things get tense and/or intense and/or insane. And it makes for crazy genetics (add to my ADHD, likely anxiety, who knows what else) in the kids! Why am I better off with him? Have you ever seen him stand up to the idiots in the medical and school communities? This fellow has PRESENCE, the detailed trap of a mind for details usually only seen in lawyers, and impeccable people skills (in public). At home, he keeps track of trends, events, recurrences, etc. - all the details I need for appointments. He flags problems I miss (and vice versa). We're just hoping we get a few years to enjoy each other without the pressures of the kids! [/QUOTE]
