[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 52869"] Welcome to the board. You asked, now what? My first reaction is that you run away (tongue-in-cheek). That's always my first reaction when my kids make me nuts. One of these days I'll actually do it and I'll be found on the beach in Belize. [img]:wink:[/img] I know what you mean about the easy child and difficult child references. As you can see from my signature, my easy child isn't very easy child, but he is typical teen (typcial teen). Some days he's just a PITA. (By the way, to do the signature, go to My Stuff at the top of the page and click on Profile. It helps us to keep everyone's info straight.) The Explosive Child by Ross Greene is highly recommended around here. It gives you a different view on parenting challenging kids - who, by the way, don't respond to traditional parenting methods - and takes a lot of the angst out of picking battles. I suggest you grab a copy and see what you think. Our kids do we require that we think outside of the box when it comes to parenting, otherwise you are just trying to put a round peg in a square hole. With bio-mom's history of a mood disorder, I'd be keeping that on the radar with the kids. Others will be along with their thoughts and ideas. Until then, remember it is important that you take time for yourself. Again, welcome. I'm glad you found us. [/QUOTE]
