[QUOTE="busywend, post: 529005, member: 391"] I like the ODD diagnosis - I don't know when 'we' started to not like it. It is a good description of the behavior my daughter portrayed at a younger age. And I grasped onto it like a life line, and it brought me here.....soooo ODD is absolutely real and valuable to me. I am not sure if your son has been actually diagnosed yet. But I sure see the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) there. He literally can not watch the rest of the movie you know. It HAS been ruined. To him starting it over and ensuring little bro does not sing this time is not unreasonable. It would make him happy afterall. So, why wouldn't daddy want him to be happy? I am being his mind right now, I hope you see that. This is how he thinks. It really is NOT unreasonable thinking to him. I mean, it would take you 4 seconds to start it over and tell little bro 'dont sing this time'. Right? At least that is what your older son is thinking. As far as not paying attention when you are talking to him after this scenario.....there is no way he can understand your side of this as he sees you as unreasonable now. I mean 4 seconds dad! Gosh! That is all he can think about. Start thinking about this from his perspective and life will get easier for you all. [/QUOTE]
