[QUOTE="Malika, post: 446888, member: 11227"] Thanks guys. I guess my point with this post was that sometimes J is really not so bad and I over-react with him (the difficult child parent) because of my own "stuff". He spat out the toothpaste but not at me, into the sink and it missed... And then other times he really is incredibly annoying and difficult for no apparent reason and I dont react so badly... Its like I said. I actually do feel like my J is a gift from god, quite unsarcastically, but he really is so demanding and difficult a child at times, as we all know about, and sometimes I feel I dont make the grade. And, as far as Im concerned, its no good saying its all him because I often witness the fact that it isnt and that how I interact with and deal with him does make a big difference to his behaviour. As another poster said in reply to another thread, these children get such a lot of negative feedback all the time and its so inevitable because their behaviour is sometimes so challenging, disruptive, all the rest... and then I see how J, for one, just shines and opens and wants to please when I praise and encourage him... so itś much more than just a foregone conclusion all the time that he is just going to screw up and make a mess of things. He has a lot of potential but requires so much special understanding somehow. God give me the strength and the forebearance and the basic love to do this task of parenting... [/QUOTE]
