[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 53117, member: 3419"] Thanks... funny you should post this today... difficult child was snotty this a.m. He did what he was "supposed to do," aka feed the dogs, bring them in, etc., but with-a very snotty attitude and snarly voice. He was the same way last night... then when he went to bed, he wanted to cuddle. Say what? I said, "No thank you, I'm too tired." Sigh. I think it's because he stayed overnight at the Great Wolf Lodge and was overstimulated and didn't get much sleep. I knew the other shoe would drop... at least he isn't violent. husband took him out to eat for Father's Day brunch. I went for a walk. I thought about what it would be like to live alone and not have to deal with-an attitude 24/7, and then I felt badly because he can be a cute kid sometimes. Then I had to remind myself of my new motto: NO GUILT! Overall, there have been improvements, but every day, there are reminders that he is not a normal kid and this is not a normal household. Thanks for the support. We're all in this together, despite the fact I feel like I'm the only one (like you and most of the moms here feel). I'm trying. [/QUOTE]
