[QUOTE="Woofens, post: 202615, member: 4425"] Thanks everyone! :) Yesterday wasn't bad at all either... Moonwolf and Moe were here most of the day and easy child T spent the weekend at a friends. We spent an extremely lazy day watching TV and I was trying to learn all the features of this new phone and get the address book and calendar the way I wanted them. We went to the dollar store, since PCS had birthday money and difficult child had money he earned when he went to work with M last Sunday. Had a moment that could have been bad last night again, he found a piece of candy corn on the coffee table, and wouldn't throw it away. It was bedtime and he had already brushed his teeth. He raised his voice to me over it, but gave me the candy, Went to his room to go to bed angry about it, but there wasn't any screaming or kicking. About 20 minutes later he came out and we were able to talk calmly about how I'm trying very hard not to yell at him, and I don't want him to yell at me either. He told me he doesn't like it when I yell, and I told him that I don't like it when he yells either, and he agreed that it is much nicer when no one yells. Progress.... baby steps but progress none the less. :) He just went into work with M so a quiet day here now. I have to go pick up easy child T from her weekend away.... Thanks again to everyone. Hugs, Jan [/QUOTE]
