[QUOTE="sjexpress, post: 523212"] Bunny- I think you mentioned in another post that our difficult child's are so similar that it seems we are raising the same child! Yes, you bet....my difficult child is pulls the same garbage. If easy child is quietly watching tv, difficult child comes in from where ever and starts saying he wants to watch something, that it is his turn! If easy child is on computer or video game system, same problem. Whether easy child has been on something just minutes or a while, I do not make him get right off just because difficult child decides he wants it "right now". Like you, I give easy child a time limit and say "30 more min. then it is your brothers turn". This of course causes difficult child to whine, carry on, etc.... He feels he is entitled to what ever he wants when he wants it. And of course no matter what compromise I try to make, difficult child immediately says "it's not fair!" I swear, in 60 or so years from now the writing on his tombstone will be "here lies difficult child, it's not fair!" So although I have no advice at all, just know that there are others out here doing just as much eye rolling and head shaking out of frustration! How many more days of spring break for you? We go back Mon.!! Jan [/QUOTE]
