[QUOTE="idohope, post: 388266, member: 7722"] HI and Welcome. You do have so much on your plate right now. (((hugs)))) to you. You sound like you need some. It is exhausting battling with a difficult child and their staying power is great. I know what you mean about being emotionally drained and finding it hard to work. So really evaluate what are your top priorities now. Sounds like getting on the bus in the morning as it impacts your work. So focus on that and try to let other things slide for now. If you have read "Explosive Child" by Ross Greene he talks about 3 baskets or 3 plans. Plan C is that you let it go. Letting it go does not mean that the issue is not important to you or that you will never set that expectation for your child. It just means that right now you are letting it go. Sometimes it feels like giving in or giving up but it is not. It is making a different choice, right now for your child and your situation until you can figure out a way to have him sit down to a dinner of chicken and okra (sounds good to me!) without a 1 hour battle ensuing. Some non-traditional parenting as a previous post said. Hang in there. You will get a lot of support from this board. [/QUOTE]
