[QUOTE="tired Cheryl, post: 82801, member: 4109"] Hi, Witzend: husband and I <u>have</u> been working different shifts so that one of us is with the kids at all times since easy child was born 5 years ago. He works nights and I work days right now. After five years of this we would like to have a normal schedule. Also, difficult child is almost school age. I do not want to homeschool nor do his doctors think that this is right for him. Also, I would like for him to start learing how to behave in regular social situations like school, birthday parties, going to friends homes, etc. He is almost four and we think that it is time for him to learn this. Regardless of his disorders he has to live in this world and I want him to start learing these skills. Also, making some friends would be a nice long-term goal. Not happening now. WE are in the process of opening our own business, YIKES, so that we will be on the same schedule but still have the flexibilty for all of the doctor's appts, school expulsions, etc Also, kids can be with us at the business after school (I am hiring babysitter so that I can get work done while they are there) AS far as the safe room goes there is NO WAY I would be able to keep him contained in a room without some sort of lock. Which is why now these meltdowns go on for hours sometimes. I will definately get the neurologist to put in writing specifically what she means. Funny and sad that you mention jail. I feel like I am in jail right now. Also, we worry if that is where difficult child is heading. [/QUOTE]
