[QUOTE="klmno, post: 118335, member: 3699"] Robby, you may have hit the nail on the head- I had posted something about his birthday- and behavior- a few days ago and others brought up that it sounded like he was sabatoging his own birthday ( well, this is the third year in a row that this has happened). I did kind of see he was sabotoging but I couldn't see that - you know- LOGIC. But, I was thinking driving home today that I need to change something because for 3 years straight at birthday time, I'm always telling him (starting Jan 1) to behave and get back into routine of school so you can have a good birthday. And I realized, that he behaves better when I don't "hold a carrot over his head". by the way, I probably wouldn't have let anyone come over tomorrow except that other responses on the previous thread did leave me thinking that there is a pattern here and neither of us are intentionally causing a problem, but the cycle needs to be broken. And, thankfully, that has helped me see that I need to plan a little better about how to appropriately give him consequences and still permit a "normal" (ok, normal for difficult child) life! I wanted so much for tomorrow to be a special party- you know, my baby's growing up! I think it has hurt me more than him! So, was he trying to con me back into the party last night- or did the cold wet rain wake up his thinking- just for a few minutes? Yeah, right!! [/QUOTE]
