[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 12999, member: 2459"] I don't watch those shows but agree with whoever called it cookie cutter parenting. During one of our "in court alot" periods, the judge ordered husband and I to take parenting classes. I about laughed out loud in court because because before we even HEARD of difficult child, we had foster training and were licensed theraputic foster parents. I was fine with it though, you never know what you're going to learn. But, with that said......it was the biggest waste of time. The instructor would call on me during class about something and I would basically tell her that we've done that - didn't work, or we've tried a version of what you're saying - didn't work or even we haven't tried that one but I KNOW it won't work. She would get so upset with me and say that we weren't being consistant with the technique(s) and that we had to change our parenting style. (true to a point but not what she meant) We, in turn, would get frustrated with her and, sometimes, angry until one of the staffers where the class was (who we were working with at the time) finally pulled her aside at some point and explained the whole situation to her. (of course she wouldn't listen when WE tried to explain difficult child) After that she didn't call on us so much. [img]:hammer:[/img] [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
