[QUOTE="Sunshine1966, post: 148652, member: 4129"] Hey Julie, I feel for you! I've often thought about saying something to a parent who has a child acting up in public only to empathize and show them that they are not alone. I can so relate to these horrible experiences in public places where you can feel all eyes on you. I've hardened myself to caring about what others are thinking but it certainly stresses me out. I had a recent event in Walmart where my difficult child wanted Lightning McQueen pull-ups. Well, he wears underwear during the day and only Good Nights pull-ups at night since we're still working on that end. I tried to explain that he was a big boy and I would get him some UNDERWEAR that were Lightning McQueen but he was fixated on the pull ups. He ended up melting onto the floor, screaming and screeching. I had to pick him up and walk clear through the store with him yelling and crying. It was awful and stressed me out so bad. I've gone through different times when I just don't bring him to the store with me - just don't set him up for a meltdown since its a difficult area for him to deal with. It helps me so much as I'm sure it does you too to read through others accounts with their difficult children and know that we are not alone. I love my difficult child so much and have so many special moments with him so I just try to remember those times when the going gets really, really tough. I'm praying for you! Debbie [/QUOTE]
