[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 464103"] Wanted to send my welcome. My husband doesn't agree with difficult child 1's diagnosis either. I do agree with the diagnosis, but I tell husband "I don't care if they call him a pink elephant if it gets him the help he needs." I also insist on my way of parenting. Just today I asked all the kids to go clean the play room. I finish vacuuming and I hear husband down stairs yelling and difficult child 2 crying. I go downstairs. husband is sitting in front of his computer watching a movie and playing games while yelling at difficult child 2 to work. I tell him very calmly. This isn't working. Then the kids and I cleaned the play room. No yelling. I didn't tell husband what he was doing wrong (that wouldn't have gone over well). I just pointed out that what he was doing wasn't getting the desired results. Then I showed him how to get the desired results. We're not to the point yet where I can talk to him about how he can get the kids to work. But we're getting their. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
