[QUOTE="joneshockey, post: 370808"] I have a couple of friends that I have known since middle school (20+ yrs. now). We used to get the kids togther all the time and have endless converstations, but NOW that we have so many issues with- B2, they don't want to come around. They "claim" to have other plans when invited over, make excuses such as "M doesn't want to come over because B2 hit her the last time we were there and you didn't do enough about it" (EXCUSE ME... I gave him a time out and he apologized to her, mind you she is 11 1/2 yrs old and he is 3 1/2!)... sorry I didnt mean to vent! When I do talk to them on the phone and try to explain what is going on with- B2 they just don't get it - they offer medicore advice "You need to be more strict with- him" or "you need to bite him back or flick him in the mouth when he bites", yadda...yadda..yadda (PLEASE, like that will solve anything... especally when he has special needs) I FINALLY have pretty much given up on explaining things to them because they just don't understand... I am sooo glad that I have found all of you that TRUELY do understand what life is like with- a difficult child! When I work during the school year my grade level partner and I talk quit a bit and she is a GREAT listener, but she doesn't have kids of her own, so she doesn't really have advice for me - but at least it is adult conversation and can get my thiought off of B1 & B2 all the time! That about sums it all up, basically all I have is FF1 and thats about it as far as those whom really understands what is going on in our family. [/QUOTE]
