[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 557960, member: 3419"] Well, allhaileris, that's what my son says ... it doesn't affect him like it affects me, and it calms him down. He still eats wheat when he's not supposed to, too, and insists it isn't a problem, lol! Glad you like horror movies. T, the girlfriend's mom, took the kids out last night and they saw Paranormal 4. She paid for the movie and for dinner. She said her daughter could see Sinister another time. :( She brought difficult child home around 8:30. Today, she has been sleeping all day, and has not answered any of my texts. My plan was for difficult child to stay home all day, after the problem yesterday with-such disrespect. I told husband to please tell difficult child to stay home and do chores with-me, on my behalf, because I didn't need another blowup. So I sleep late (8:30) and everyone is gone. difficult child has left a note, detailing the chores he has done, and apologizing, and saying he went to D's house. (Of course. Exactly what I didn't want.) He acts as though he accidentally dropped a glass on the floor and swept it up, Know what I mean?? The idea was to stay home and I would tell him when and if he could go somewhere. So I texted D's mom, T, and there is no response. I went ahead and made a plan to pick up difficult child. Alone. Meanwhile, husband called and we agreed to meet at Starbucks. I told him I wanted to take difficult child to the animal shelter to check out volunteer hrs, and that D's mom hadn't responded. husband said, "difficult child left?" Sigh. Of course he left. husband left and I was sleeping. Perfect time for difficult child to leave. On his own terms. I picked him up and both kids came out the door and pulled the door shut behind them. Arrrgh! "Is your mom still sleeping?" I asked. "Yeah, I guess." I think her mom suffers from depression and all she can muster is one night out with-the kids, and talking to the assisted living facility about her mom every other day. The worse her mom gets, the worse she gets. Her mom was extremely abusive and she hates being saddled with-this responsibility. Meanwhile, the plans we made at the kitchen table have been flushed away. husband, difficult child, D and I all went to Starbucks. The kids did not get anything. Finally, we told them to go sit outside so we could talk. (I thought ADHD was bad enough by itself. Now I've got his hands tickling her and poking her in the armpits, and it's hands and shoulders and everything moving all at once and she's trying to ignore the whole thing and texting all. The. Time.) husband said it looked like it was going to escalate again so he offered to take difficult child and D to the animal shelter. Fine by me. I don't know what to do about tonight. husband and I are going to a fundraiser. I have to make sure that T is awake and able to cope with-both kids or difficult child cannot go over there, or it's the same thing as having no supervision at all. Now I understand why people in the MiddleEast still have arranged marriages ... [/QUOTE]
