[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 76433, member: 1550"] As far as I'm concerned, being 100% consistent, especially with a child who has a mood disorder (and in my opinion probably isn't in control of everything he says or does) is not going to impact the big picture for either easy child or difficult child. You needed a break and you gave yourself one. Good for you! If you make this child stay home with you every time he has a problem, you'll get no rest, and he won't changed or be able to change anyways until he is stable. Lord knows, we aren't perfect! As for easy child, I would emphasize to her that he is treated differently, if he is, because he is sick. She doesn't have to like it, but it's true. I have to do that with my easy child, however I also emphasize that she gets privledges he doesn't get because he can't handle them, and she is pretty good with him. I couldn't be 100% consistent when my druggie daughter was acting up, and she STILL changed her life and got off the drugs and, when she did, the disrespect stopped like magic. (((Hugs))). I'd actually give myself MORE rests, if you aren't getting much relief. "If momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy." You may want to get another opinion on the medications. I wouldn't expect those medications to hold at mood disorder at bay. JMO [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
