[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 621520, member: 831"] When my difficult children were younger, middle and grade school I would refer to our family as the "Freaks of the Street." I'm a new middle school teacher after being at the elementary level many years, working in the same small city in which I live. I've had students ask me, "Are you Son's mother??" or is "Daughter YOUR daughter???" Apparently, they are known through older brothers and sisters, and other family members, and the implication is that how could someone like me have kids like them? Of course, I never speak about them so I either ignore the question like I didn't hear it, or if they are persistent, tell students we can discuss it after school and so far nobody has taken me up on it. SS, I'm so sorry for what difficult child is putting you through. They can really ratchet things up when they are out to get their needs met. You got a lot of great responses. Warm and gentle hugs is about all I have to offer. [/QUOTE]
