[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 606982, member: 15810"] I'm really just venting here. difficult child gets home from school about an hour and a half before easy child. This afternoon he came home, ate something, and did some of his homework. After that he went to his room. easy child gets home and I tell him he has to get going on his homework after a very quick snack because he has football practice tonight and he needs to get some of his homework finished, eat dinner, and change so we can leave on time. difficult child ALWAYS picks that time to start. Comes into the kitchen complaining of a headache. Looking at easy child and saying "You know, Mom, I really hate easy child," laughing because he thinks he's so funny, then telling easy child, "I'm just kidding. You know that, easy child ". I gave him two Advil and told him to leave easy child alone so that we can get some homework done. So he stomps up the stairs and goes back into his room, then comes out again two minutes later making all kinds of really loud noises, claiming that he's "singing a song" to entertain easy child. Finally I told him to either get into his room or stand at the top of the stairs and be quiet or else I would remove his Xbox from his room. He quieted down and left easy child alone, but it just grates on my nerves that he does this almost every day. I know he's trying to take attention away from easy child, because he hates easy child getting my attention more than he hates anything else, but difficult child can have my attention for more than an hour before easy child gets home.
