[QUOTE="Fran, post: 546759, member: 3"] Look at your children and ask yourself "what do they need?" It will help you make the decision of what to do in pretty much any situation. Stop sharing every detail of anything that has to do with child rearing or marriage. Give them highlights if they ask. Sometimes warrior moms(me included) become consumed by the issues at hand but true balance comes when you talk about other things, including the lovely bike ride. You are not just a mother of a difficult child, you are a mother of 2 other children, wife, working person, daughter. You wear many hats and you can't allow yourself to be the one issue person. In terms of my parents or husband's parents, I stopped telling them much because it stressed them and it did nothing to help. I wanted someone to say "you are doing the right thing or a good job". It's the child in us but I realized that wasn't ever going to happen so I am polite and don't tell them anything unless they ask. I don't know anything about your history with difficult child.
