[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 42435, member: 1991"] G'day, all. I'm trying to type this while difficult child 3 keeps talking to me, stopping and walking away, then coming back and talking again, then walking away, then coming back... you get the drift. If I yell at him he gets upset and can't understand why. But trying to keep my brain on track - AARRGGH!!! easy child 2/difficult child 2 is now being very difficult child, arguing about who knows what with husband. She's been very obsessive this evening, wanting us to arbitrate with her and difficult child 3 over whether he deliberately crept up on her to startle her, or it was an accident. Sometimes I wish I could bang their heads together! I watched the "first morning post tango" with interest but waited until you had yourselves sorted out. Fran, that drama club presentation sounds interesting. I find it fascinating seeing what our kids are capable of. easy child 2/difficult child 2 studied drama for her final years at school also. Since then she's done some professional acting jobs but I'm sure will never make a permanent living out of it. I hope difficult child takes at least some of your talk on board.
