[QUOTE="loricbme, post: 73128, member: 2036"] Thanks so much. It just helps to know that others out there have the same issue and can relate. WW - I have an aversion to answering the phone too! I never thought of it from your perspective. There just may be something to that. And it's the day time calls mostly between noon and 2:30. The bewitching hours. LOL I went to see my family out of state in late August and one of my sisters said to me about difficult child, "she just doesn't act like a normal 6/7 year old". I said, "I KNOW!" She and I hadn't had many discussions about difficult child. I think mostly because we don't see each other on a regular basis and she wouldn't completely understand what I would tell her. My mom finally realized what I'm truly dealing with. She always used to say, "oh, it's just normal behavior for this age." Then after the third day we stayed with her I could see on her face that she wanted a break. I had to explain to her that when difficult child gets into trouble for doing something it does not prevent her from doing it again. You just can't ask her nicely, please don't do that. Or give her the look. I know kids who if you give them a look of disappointment they break down and cry. Not my kid! Ahhh... more venting. [/QUOTE]
