[QUOTE="Shari, post: 327346, member: 1848"] I think the biggest mistake I made with difficult child 1 was assuming that since he was physically old enough that he [I]should be able [/I]to do something, that he [I]could[/I] do that something. *** That bit me in the butt many times down the road. *** With easy child 2 and wee difficult child, now, it is all about level of maturity...age is not even a factor anymore in my book. *** Oh, and for kids like ours with a diagnosis, you can take the tax deduction for day care or child care for while you work, just like you can with the little ones...so hire him a sitter!
