[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 173011, member: 393"] [B]Awwww, Sharon. Your difficult child, like mine, isn't going to like anything that gives mom & dad some peace & quiet. AND he isn't going to call with something positive - big crocodile tears, most likely. And I say this because I survived this with both kt & wm. Turns out it was more a daycare type of reaction - drop them off in tears, they have a gas - pick them up & they were in tears again. I had to turn a deaf ear to it & continue to utilize respite - whether the tweedles liked it or not. My conscience was soothed when the respite providers told me this was the norm. by the way, kt has to help plan meals, do dishes, clean up rooms, plus do her laundry before she comes home from respite. How cool is that? You know things will go better next time. What helped kt last time was to pack a picture of the family (printed off the computer in a protective sleeve) along & kt borrowed one of my favorite old sleep shirts to wear. I only got 2 calls over the weekend & didn't even pick up one of them. [/B] [/QUOTE]
