[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 21708, member: 3388"] Terry, I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers... I'm so sorry you lost your f-i-l... DDD and Smallworld are right - difficult children ALWAYS act up at the worst times!!! I think Smallworld has a point. difficult child could be reacting to all the stress as well as missing his grandfather. Maybe you could have a talk with him and see what he has to say. If he is mourning his grandfather's death, maybe you could tell him that you understand how hard loosing his grandfather is for him and maybe he could complete the list of chores when he is feeling a bit better. Maybe if given the chance to complete them on his own, he'll surprise you! Sometimes when I give my difficult children a bit of control during difficult, stressful times, they do a bit better. You wouldn't be letting him off the hook. You would just be giving him a bit of extra time that he might need because of the situation. I KNOW how hard this is for you!!! We do so much for our difficult children and when we really need them to behave, they just can't or won't. It is extremely frustrating and annoying!!! Sending cyber hugs, WFEN [/QUOTE]
