[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 12173, member: 831"] I think that it is not uncommon for us to want the approval of the professionals we work with. I also think that because those professionals work with parents that, quite frankly, don't really care and are unwilling to invest the time in their troubled children, there can be a bit of an "attitude" when you simply can't make a meeting, or appointment. I know I get that at times in regards to my difficult children and their education. After all, my job is education related and don't I know how important it is they do "fill in the blank"? Yes, it's important. To me, even. However, I'm not fighting that battle anymore. And I point out that the battles are having the opposite effect on my difficult children education-wise. I think some of us worry about how the pro's perceive us more than would should. Try not to let it bother you. You are dealing with a very delicate, and complicated, situation trying to balance the needs to two difficult children. Plus, there's illness and other life situations. They should try and walk in your shoes for a week. [/QUOTE]
