[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 102706, member: 2459"] Ohhhh I would SO be on the phone with someone. First of all....like you said, you have no time to do anything so when are you going to be able to go to these classes? And these classes? HA! We had to take one that was court ordered when difficult child was in and out of court for various offenses. It was a joke. The techniques this lady taught might work for easy child's who just have a burr up their backside but they are completely useless for difficult child's. And if we commented on how we've tried this or that and it didn't work, we were just told that we didn't do it right or weren't consistent enough. *Big breath* Ok, so......I would call the person who brilliantly "suggested" this and tell them the following: Well Ms. So and so, I would love to go to these classes but with the paperwork/reports/appointments/homework/meltdowns/rages/insert multiple happenings here, I find that I'm going to need someone to help me with the boys while I attend this class. What time should I drop them off at your house? Oh and while they are there, you might want to lock up any valuables as the kids tend to break/steal/whatever is applicable things and I'd hate to see your house wind up looking like mine. But I'm not too worried seeing as how you are an expert and I'm totally confident that you'll be able to handle them with ease. And if that doesn't do anything, cry. Tears usually work wonders! I agree, that is absolutely ridiculous of them. I know you already have all of their paperwork to do but maybe if you did a journal for one week of all the things you have to do and deal with and sent it to EVERYONE, they would see exactly WHY you need some respite. Hugs and good luck. [/QUOTE]
