[QUOTE="DDD, post: 32022, member: 35"] Not knowing your family dynamics it is hard to say. As a total outsider just reading your posts...I "think" it might be a good idea for you and your husband to tell your son that you all feel that perhaps all three of you have been impulsive and suggest that you all take the rest of the weekend off with no more conflicts. Perhaps it could be simple: 1. We won't get on your case and you do your best not to bug us. 2. Let's remember that we love you and you love us...you don't like some of the things we do and say and the same is true in reverse BUT we are family and we are bound by love. 3. If you feel we are breaking the 1-2-3 agreement you tell me or Dad. If we feel you are breaking the agreement whichever one of us is calmest will tell you. That "might" help. Defusing the tension is really important. DDD PS: In our family food is important. So, for example, if we have alot of stress and I want to chill things off I make a favorite of the kid involved. If I make wings or stuffed shells or shrimp...my easy child/difficult child knows his favorites are served to help us all. My eldest difficult child felt "stroked" if we ordered her favorite pizza. LOL! [/QUOTE]
