[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 405265, member: 6705"] Jen - honey - gentle hugs - you know what? No, you didn't screw up, you were doing your best to be the best mom for both kids. OK last night I mentioned to husband - most of the effort is expended on Onyxx, 'cause the squeaky wheel gets the grease - but you know what? Jett needs some effort too. And so when I got home from work husband was snuggled up watching a movie with Jett. Onyxx came in and tried to change the channel and husband told her to go to her room, or help me cook, or something but this was HIS TIME WITH JETT. Calm, but firm. Braced for a meltdown... She stomped off to her room... But... See, both kids need attention... And you do, too! Don't shortchange yourself. You are doing the best you can. difficult child needs to understand that she's not the only kid in the universe... I know that's not easy... But you're only one person. Don't beat yourself up. I wish I was closer to NY, I'd make your husband take over for you and I'd take you out for a spa day or something. [/QUOTE]
