[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 519796"] Thanks ladies! I just love this "family". He didn't take a nap but did lay quietly for almost an hour. He came down and things were fine until difficult child 2 "pushed some buttons" and difficult child 1 ended up leaving the house saying he's "sick of" me and difficult child 2 ALWAYS being mean to him. We calmly talked in the alley and I convinced him to come back in. I reminded difficult child 2 that it's not his job to enforce my rules and that he has no authority over difficult child 1. I was able to get difficult child 1 calmed down enough to get schoolwork done and then I let him go play. He came home on time and was VERY pleasant all evening. They went to bed at our normal time tonight. I just hope he is able to recoup some of the sleep he lost last night. I don't even care if he doesn't get up until noon. He needs the sleep. Thanks again for the supportive words. It really does help to be reminded that I am NOT alone....even in my faults. [/QUOTE]
