Look at the bright side: Your difficult child could be female and experiencing PMS, too. :wink:
Seriously, though, I feel your pain. Trying to make a difficult child understand that you don't always get what you want is difficult on the best of days. I sometimes think that we spend so much time on interventions and therapy and redirection that they start to think that the world really does revolve around them. Then reality hits and we take the punishment.
