[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 627392, member: 17269"] difficult child's don't do anything that is hard. They will go where the getting is easy. If you want to try it, next time you get an update about a "job opportunity" you can say gently "I find I get frustrated hearing about all these opportunities that don't materialize..this isn't your fault, it is my own shortcoming. But I am trying to minimize frustation in my life, so I'm going to ask you not to tell me about these anymore. I'll be happy to come celebrate when he actually lands a job" Or something along those lines. It helps sometimes to figure out exactly what you are going to say under different circumstances, as you start to disengage from the situation. Echo [/QUOTE]
