[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 560723"] NO, we're on Long Island. SCHOOL IS OPEN TODAY!!!!!!! Woo hoo! He then, of course, started this morning with, "I'm really nervous about going back to school. What if we get tons of homework?" I told him that it would a normal school day and that he will get whatever homework he gets and he will just have to deal with it. It' stressful for the teachers as well. We made out well in the storm. No power for 5 days, but no damage to our house or property, except for a broken outside light and a missing chimney cap. I can live with that, especially after seeing the devestation that so many others are going through. difficult child was so-so during the blackout. He had two really good days, but Friday was the absolute worst. He was screaming that the neighbors' dogs were in our yard (again. This has been on on going problem with this neighbor, who just does not seem to care that her dogs keep digging their way into my yard). When I went to go and tell her that her dog was in the yard he ran into the house and locked all of the doors, leaving easy child and me outside. Then he had a fit because my neighbor knocked on the door and told him that if he ever locked his mother out again he would come over and have a few things to say about it. He attacked me, trying to punch me. easy child tried to pull him off me, so difficult child turned on him. I told easy child to go to his room, but difficult child pounded on his bedroom door so hard that there is now a lovely crack in the door (difficult child has already been told that he is paying for a new door). easy child had lunch, and then we left because we had to run some errands. Then you know how it is with a difficult child. He's calm. He's sorry. He's upset and crying because I told his father that he damaged the door ("Why didn't you tell him that easy child did it? He LOVES easy child and easy child wouldn't get into trouble about it!" Really?). He's feeling better, so why and I still mad? Really, I should have called the police and had him arrested. I don't know why I didn't. easy child did really well with no power. He can find ways to occupy himself. Everything that difficult child loves requires an electrical outlet. I told husband that we are getting a generator. I am not going through this again. [/QUOTE]
