[QUOTE="sjexpress, post: 522198"] You are not alone! That's about exactly how it is in our house too. It is never difficult child's fault! He is never to blame ( according to him) and no matter how you replay the situation to get him to understand, he just doesn't get it or does not want to try to get it. Very frustrating! For example, if he throws a nerf ball and it knocks over a cup of juice, he gets angry because someone left the juice on the table and it should not have been there! Never mind he should not have been throwing the ball in the house! Instead of apologizing or just cleaning it up, he will go on and on about who the "idiot" was that left the cup there! Ya gotta love it! difficult child and easy child fight constantly and again, sad to say it is because difficult child instigates! He just can not leave easy child alone. He encourages easy child to play with him and then if he doesn't like how easy child is playing, difficult child gets angry and at times aggressive with easy child. Sadly, I do my best to keep them from playing together but I am not often successful. And now that easy child is getting older and wiser, he many times tells difficult child "no" that he does not want to play with him and yup, you guessed it, difficult child gets furious and does not get why! Duh....maybe if he was nicer! But again,difficult child insists he does try to be nice but easy child just makes him mad and he can't help himself when he loses his patience! We too just started spring break and I am dreading it. I do try to plan things but now the problem is with almost a 6 yr age difference between my boys, difficult child complains that whatever easy child wants to do is boring and he refuses to go so we can't go and leave difficult child alone. Not all things difficult child wants to do are OK for easy child or things I want to do like hit baseballs around or shoot basketballs, etc.. I too try to encourage difficult child to call a friend but he is lazy and most of the time won't. He wants someone to call him! He wants me to play with him constantly but I tell him I am not a "full time friend".
