[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 54777, member: 3419"] Well, husband read difficult child the riot act and there was a scene but I just watched. husband's approach escalated difficult child's temper, but at least it got him out of bed! (He lifted him up by his shirt.) husband said he had never seen difficult child like that (totally defiant, throwing his pill and Rice Crispie treat, screaming back to husband). Say WHAT? It's about time! So, we got difficult child dressed and in the car, and by the time we got to the baseball field, only a 5-10 min. drive, difficult child was happy and relaxed. He had only missed the first day parents' info talk (boring!) and basic exercises. He hadn't missed any baseball at all. When I picked him up at 3 p.m., he was pleasant and happy and conversant. I took him to see a ceiling mural I'm working on nearby and he whined for a split second and then shut up. (I just want him to see that his parents, do, in fact, have a life and we don't sit around all day and plot against him!) I know he's going to ask me at some point if he can come over and climb on the scaffolding and that the artwork bores him, but heck, he's a boy. He's making his own lunch for the next few days, feeding the dogs, and unpacking his suitcase with-o complaint. At least, for now... [img]:wink:[/img] [/QUOTE]
