[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 260441, member: 6705"] After I posted that yesterday about my oblivious difficult child 2... He bumped his hand on the closet doorknob and ran around the house crying and screaming that he'd broken it. I tried to get him to let me see it, but he wouldn't unwrap the towel around it because "it won't stop bleeding!" I had a meeting I had to go to. So I collared him and sat him down, unwrapped the hand and... Not even a red mark. Not a scratch. Certainly not broken and bleeding. I pointed out to him that if he wanted attention, there were better ways to get it, and since he had been running and causing a commotion, it was time for him to settle down and play quietly. husband was at work, so a friend was hanging out with the kids. When I got home from the meeting, difficult child 1 was on the phone and difficult child 2 wrapped up in his action figures. Quietly. And apparently had been the whole time. So he got some attention for THAT. Someday... They grow out of it someday... I hope. [/QUOTE]
