[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 105179, member: 805"] I gotta tell you - you can't make anyone appreciate what you do for them - especially not a teenage difficult child! Appreciation comes when folks can truly understand/relate to what you have done/are doing. Your son has no understanding of the sacrifice and the work involved. Obviously he misses his friends and getting out of the house. Perhpas instead of sitting down and doing a lesson today, there is a cool experiment or a project you could give him to do that relates to the lesson plan. I totally agree with you about letting him see that you are frustrated and/or angry. Give yourself a timeout to walk outside or go in your room! What you are doing is very challenging. Sorry that he is fighting you at every turn. Sharon [/QUOTE]
