[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 57794, member: 1991"] Does husband do any 'bloke' stuff with difficult child? For example, when difficult child 3 had a school project to do ("make a compost bin") and it was something we were going to do anyway, husband talked difficult child 3 through it, helped him with the drill and screwdriver. He also helps him with his photography, we go out for walks and 'the boys' will talk about framing, composition, patience and how to get a good photo not by chasing the birds, but by watching where the birds are going to, and then going there, sitting quietly and waiting. Even if husband is being inconsistent and a ratbag in other ways, if he is spending ANY quality time with difficult child it has to be a bonus. How much encouragement would he need to do this? To maybe support difficult child in a hobby? Or teach difficult child some 'bloke' skills such as basic carpentry, car maintenance, etc. Marg [/QUOTE]
