[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 313522, member: 3444"] Yes, it does help to vent and know that you've all been there done that. :) Janet, LOL, I limit my personal meltdowns to the privacy of our own home :p Plenty more room for hurling stuff there anyway! Mary, unfortunately, I did develop a high tolerance for BS after growing up with the kind of abusive dad that I had. :( Silver lining to everything, huh? This is very typical of difficult child. Given an opportunity to actually shop for something he really WANTS, he will take for-e-ver to make a choice. I'm feeling more and more suspicious that he has some Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) traights in there. I have had to resort to time limits and then we've even left the store with his choice still unmade. Which isn't a big deal to me when it's something like a toy that he's buying with his own money and doesn't really need anyway, Know what I mean?? I should have done what I told husband I wanted to do earlier in the day when we were shopping for shoes for husband -- just pick out a pair for him and take them home! And you know what, he probably would have been just fine with whatever I chose. easy child is also hard to shop for, but in the opposite way. I refuse to buy any clothing for her unless she has seen it, tried it on, and enthusiastically approved it. Which doesn't need to happen too often, thankfully, thanks to 6 older female cousins and their hand-me-downs! :) [/QUOTE]
