Suzir,I can't imagine getting my difficult child to do half of what yours is doing. I tried to get her to take her sister to school this AM and got my head bitten off. To be honest dealing with her just isn't worth it. I don't know what else you can do with him. He is doing everything you ask and doing it well enough. Maybe you could tell him that when you get home you need some downtime before bed. That it helps you and husband sleep if you can enjoy some mindless tv or read a book in silence. Let him get his yapping and picking out during dinner and then tell him you all are going to enjoy some peace and quiet for an hour or two before bed. I often have to do this when my girls are driving me nuts. I go to my room and read. I get quiet time and they get to not be yelled at when they push me too far.
