[QUOTE="Janna, post: 239544, member: 2737"] He must have been twins with D in another life. Geez, I've heard that all the time. We have the routine down, now. D walks in the door, and I'm sitting here at the computer (typically - the 15 mins prior to him walking in the door is my "down" time). I hear him, and wait. Normally, he comes in hollaring something. He drops his folder, coat, and either 1) goes in for snack 2) gets dressed to work out with me or 3) goes up to his room and closes the door. If 1 or 2 occur, I know he's OK with talking. If he goes up to his room, I leave him totally alone. He can be up there 10 mins or 2 hours. That's *his* time. And, usually, when he comes down, things are good. I rarely ask "how was your day", because the ONLY answer I get is "good". LOL! "I only say things I don't mean when I'm mad". Yep, heard it - hence, the reason he is to be sent, shipped, carried directly upstairs. Well, when you're mad, you need to utilize your coping skills so you *dont* say things you don't mean. Maybe a good thing to identify with difficult child and therapist - coping skills. I swear by them. Very good luck tonight! I love how difficult child is trying so hard to save you money. Tee hee! Too funny. XOXOX [/QUOTE]
