[QUOTE="nvts, post: 67561, member: 3814"] OMG! My 5 yr old is also a princess and in the throws of mimicing! She spent the last 2 weeks of kindergarten with the threat of suspension looming over her head! Don't get me started on the "fur" calamity that is within a house with pets. I can vacuum and 2 minutes later the hair tumbleweeds are so thick that you can actually hear the coyotes howling in your head! Our 8 year old has Aspergers and cannot handle any type of transitions. End of school, vacations, beginning of school, different teacher/para, family parties, ANYTHING! If he has prior knowledge, it's a crap shoot: sometimes it helps, sometimes it is talked to death! And the meltdowns go on and off for days!!! [img]:crazy:[/img] Personally, I think your SO needs a break if she's threatening to leave and visit him in jail. Gimme a break: the kid is young and you don't need to be reminded that he's having difficulties. Granted: when you get soooo frustrated, you can often "shoot from the lip", but take it easy. Your son is probably just as frightened of his overreaction and you and your SO are frustrated by it. I think you need to let her know that the last thing you need is to have your relationship thrown in your face right in the middle of the outburst. Lesson 1 to husband's and SO's: Don't add stress to an already stressful situation! (they're all so good at that! [img]:grin:[/img]) And yes: they do almost always misbehave worse for mom than anyone else. There are people on this board who go nuts with therapists that think we're out of our minds because we're saying one thing and they're seeing a perfect child sitting there in front of them. Ahhhhh, aren't we so special! [img]:rofl:[/img] Anyway, a real diagnosis will at least give you ideas to help you handle the ups and downs. Post away! This is a great crowd of people - you'll learn a lot from their experience! Beth [/QUOTE]
