[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 301303, member: 3419"] [I]Almost worth going through the pain to see your difficult child shine?[/I] I know. Life is weird. ;) Yes, she can be difficult child-ish herself. I can be hypersensitive, not a good combination with-a demanding personality like she has. And she really has a potty mouth, which really annoys me. I find it embarrassing in social situations. She can really rise to the occasion, though, when there's a health issue--for example, she helped out a lot when I had breast cancer, and stopped by to help husband when he had rhinoplasty and I was out of town--and she can be very fun and funny. Part of the problem is that she is in a point in her life where she just wants to have fun, and kids do not come into the equation. She will most likely never marry again because she can't find anyone with-o kids, and she doesn't want to deal with-stepkids. Anyway, it is definitely a good idea not to go anywhere with-her if I have to commit to a time. It's a bit better now that difficult child is 12, but when he was 3 and raging, it was so chaotic, well, you all know how that is. The best thing to do is to call her as soon as I leave my house and then she can leave her house and we can coordinate. [/QUOTE]
