[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 362820, member: 3419"] Thank you. He was a jerk last night. We watched Avatar at husband's office (big screen that he uses for pts) and difficult child kept going in and out of the room to play on the computer. I asked a few questions during the movie and difficult child snidely remarked that "Mom is one of those who talks through am movie." husband explained that I hadn't heard some of the dialogue, and so on. (IOW, it's not okay for me to ask a relevant Q, but it is okay for difficult child to interrupt to complain about me.) If it had just been one comment, I would have blown it off, but you know with-a difficult child, they can't stop at one. husband told him to stop, then when it was time to leave, difficult child refused to. I told him to come on, (several warnings) and difficult child shouted, in a mean voice, to chill out. I told him that was the wrong answer and that he is supposed to say, "Yes, ma'am," and not be rude. I'm trying to teach him but something isn't working. Even with-all the counseling he's been to, he just can't get it through his head. He argues and argues and argues. He is supposed to be grounded off of computers and video equip anyway, so once again, I have to rein in husband AND difficult child. Sigh. difficult child continued being a jerk on the way home, and then ordered me out of the car to open the door, since I had house keys, and I got out of the car, placed my purse near the door, and said I was going for a walk. husband let in difficult child. I just had had enough of difficult child and could not stand to be with-him one more minute. I walked around the block and by the time I got home, difficult child was in his room with-the door shut. Fine by me. I don't know if it's the heat, or the stress of my cousin, the house repairs, or what, or if I've finally come to the realization that difficult child has not made much progress and I am getting depressed thinking that I am stuck with-this behavior for the next 7 yrs, but I just can't seem to handle it any more. I am seriously thinking of asking my cousin for $ to send difficult child to a special school in the mtns ... [/QUOTE]
