[QUOTE="buddy, post: 494734, member: 12886"] HUGS, my son didn't quite do that but my step mom on Christmas eve, wants the presents all passed out, then wants the kids to go one by one opening one gift at a time (in the number they are ordered on the tags). she wants pics. I get that but we have had this struggle for the last few years that she has done this. Before there was not the problem. Now they already had to wait till we ate dinner and everyone was done and we cleaned up. so he got his pile and then when told he can't rip in, started swearing at ME, then everyone then he just ripped them all apart. I just didn't say anything. she made some comment about now I guess he doesn't get his picture taken etc. Of course after he was all, sorry mom, that was too hard etc. but i was frustrated with him, he knew better....that is never the question, the thing is even when he knows better his impulse control issues and anxiety just take over. so I have to think to myself, is it really worth making this be a big issue. After all, there is no doubt we have tons of issues. This is just nto even a b basket thing for me. [/QUOTE]
