[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 18255, member: 3419"] Woo hoo! I had a tiny breakthrough today. Picked up difficult child in husband's car, which has some kind of wt indicator and turns off the passenger airbag if a child sits there. So husband has been letting difficult child sit in the front seat for rides. (difficult child is about 5' tall and weighs 75 lbs.) But, easy child daughter wanted to practice driving, so I had to sit in front (our rule). difficult child had a minor tantrum in pkng lot, said it was all my fault because I promised, all her fault because she always gets to drive, etc. Per the discussion here (really, I thought about you all!), as calmly as I could, I said, "This isn't about whose fault it is--it's about driving. It's about the fact I already promised your sister she could drive. Have a seat--in the BACK." He slammed the door, HARD! (quite the passed master at that) and moped for a few min. in the backseat, but the fact of the matter is, he did what I said. And, he calmed down within just a few min. Okay, he DID have a huge bag of Valentine's cards and candy to keep him occupied in the back seat, LOL! Still, one small step for Mom, one giant step for difficult child. Yaaay! [/QUOTE]
