[QUOTE="Palomina, post: 480537, member: 12810"] Thanks all for the ideas and words of wisdom... Very Very needed :-) We live in a little tiny town and there is just not much here FOR them to do...but I don't want to move away from here, either. I like it that I feel comfortable enough here so that when they don't come home when they're supposed to, I don't necessarily have to worry about their safety. I mean, I do worry about them, but this is a safe little town where everyone knows everyone. Freak things do occur, and in today's day and age, I am aware of that, but this is still small town, USA. I would be out of my mind if we lived in a bigger town. We tried tae kwon do, but they have a big problem with listening and following along with what they are told to do...this was a few years ago, so maybe they were too young, but it did not go well. They have this "thing" with playing on the floor. WalMart, Dr. office, church... you name it, I will probably have to ask them repeatedly to get up off the floor. Even if there are chairs to sit on, they will slide off the chair and sit on the dang floor. The boys don't get to go many places simply because their behavior is embarrassing, and SOOOOOOO stressful. Once in a while, i take them with me as a reward or something, but it never fails to remind me why I DON'T take them anywhere. We lead a very boring life out of necessity. My boys have NO social skills or etiquette...it's like they don't have a "censor" in their brains to tell them that they need to act a certain way. Their newest interest is religion... We have switched our family to a different church, and the boys were never active in church or Sunday School, because my church said they were disruptive and not to bring them back. SO, now I go with hubs to his church, and the boys are past the age that they do things like first communion, confession, etc. so they need to catch up. They are eager to learn what they need to, but their behavior is just SO off the wall, I am setting myself and them up for failure if I take them to church. Frustrating. I am waiting on their pediatrician to get done going over the paperwork that he sent to the school so we can have a follow up visit, then I am going to look into whether our insurance will cover a neuropsychologist consult for them... If not, I am going to apply for MA for them and see where that gets us. Meanwhile, I am just here, busting my butt all night and pulling my hair out all afternoon :-) Thanks for all your support!
