[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 292333, member: 805"] So, easy child and I went on a little road trip for three days. We left Monday morning and returned at 2 am this morning. difficult child wanted to stay at the house by himself rather than going over to bonehead's place. So, we talked about it, discussed safety and security (along with hygiene!), he gave me a list of things that he wanted to have for meals and off we went! He did great! He took care of the dog, no inside accidents while we were gone. He only called me twice. I called him several times a day thought. I got home last night, or rather early this morning, and he was clean, the dog was happy, the house was clean - there was nothing to complain or rail about. What the heck? Anyway, just had to brag that he did great! Bonehead and I were a little iffy about him staying by himself, but he said he felt safe with the dog and the alarm. He did camp out downstairs and sleep on the sofa near the dog's kennel! I'm going to start planning another trip! But seriously, you guys know what I'm talking about. We want to go and visit an old friend or family member and you take your difficult child and they complain, they sulk, they ask when are we going home, etc. It was nice to focus on me and who I was with without worry :winking:.
