[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 363123, member: 6705"] "Normal" for me is "weird" for you. So. If normal happens where normal is supposed to happen... Normal. If weird happens where normal is supposed to happen, then it's weird. BUT... If weird happens where weird is supposed to happen, wouldn't that be NORMAL? And if normal happens where weird is supposed to happen, then it's weird. Know what I mean?? OK that said... I agree. RAGES are not normal. Even last night Onyxx told me that even if she acted like a typical teen she would be in trouble. I pointed out that her ranting (not a rage, just whining) was typical teen and if she noticed, I wasn't yelling back, I was listening and asking for clarification. When she escalated, I left the room. (She smarted off to me as I left too, telling me I "always" walked away when she was upset. I didn't say a word - though I wanted to turn around, raise an eyebrow and say... "And when you get upset and leave I'm not supposed to say anything?") Still - no rage. She escalated, I left, leaving nothing to escalate her further. Regardless, I was ready to rip her head off - which is precisely why I left. I can usually stay calm, but I had HAD it. SO - keep your chin up... And don't worry. If he's being well-behaved - ENJOY IT!!! [/QUOTE]
