[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 187488, member: 3444"] I'm feeling a bit strange at my reaction to the posts here, because I'm looking at the fighting that went on between difficult child 2 and easy child/difficult child 3 and feel like it was a huge cloud over the day. Am I being overly critical? Holding myself to a easy child-family standard instead of the difficult child reality I live in? I admit I was a bit embarrassed in front of my uncle and his wife whose son is very mellow, and pretty much a well behaved kid (despite having significant anxiety that they view as stubbornness). It was like a mini flashback to our Hawaii trip for the first half of the day :( There were shining moments, that's true. Maybe because I could see and feel how fleeting they were that it was hard to really enjoy them being "on guard" the whole day. I'm SO glad for this board's perspective! [/QUOTE]
