[QUOTE="weaselqt, post: 68347, member: 3989"] You know, I had a problem with my difficult child at church - CHURCH!!! He was 7 years old and getting ready to go on stage to sing with children's choir - after practicing for a few months. This was the Christmas program. Well, while sitting in sanctuary adn waiting for program to start (difficult child was asked to be there 1 hour early to go back over stuff - so we had been there for 15 minutes) when difficult child comes in to sanctuary and sits down by me - very quietly might I add. I asked him if they were through practicing and he said no - Mr. Holier than Thou Christian & Children's Choir Director (haha - okay - he didn't say ALL that!!) told me to come in here and stay. Of course, I ask why and he said 'Because I am a bad boy." HA! That just slapped me in the FACE! I walk back to where the kids are and march in and ask what is going on? The man and the mother of another child told me that my difficult child never listens to them and won't be still and screeches insteads of singing and they won't allow him to be in the program. Now, mind you, he has been with them for a few months - and I am JUST NOW hearing about it. I told them that he IS going to sing and that my son is making a JOYFUL NOISE unto the Lord (I really didn't know what else to say). The man tells me that my difficult child would be just fine with a good, old fashioned spanking. That made my blood BOIL!! I mean, beat him to act straight? I WISH that was all I ever had to do!!! Well, he was in the program - actually kind of froze on stage in front of all the people - and did just fine. I began being choir director after that year and he didn't act any worse than the other mom's child who was in there. Hmmmpf. Now difficult child is 15 and we sort of deal with it. Every day, he wants to be something else when he gets older - sometimes a singer, or an underwater welder, or a fireman, or a mechanic, or a medical office assistant, or a policeman, and even a nurse. I do admire his very active mind and his "I can do anything attitude" - but it can get overwhelimg too. I'm glad you stood up to those people in the waiting room - it has taken me a few years to get bold - I wish I was bolder when difficult child was younger - but you have "BALLS!" LOL good luck!
