[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 253557, member: 1991"] I'm with Janet also. I had difficult child 3's teacher say this to me, when difficult child 3 was 8 years old. He said, "I've had a really difficult day with him. And justwhen I'm getting fed up, I remember that I can go home and leave it behind. But you have to live with this. I honestly don't know how you do it." I did point out that at home, difficult child 3 fits into his space and niche and we all havw adapted to one another, so perhaps it's not as bad as he visualised. HOwever, yes - thank you for the recognition that my parenting is a thankless task at times, a superhuman-feeling one too. Because implied in this is the recognition that my parenting is the means to cope, instead of the cause. Marg [/QUOTE]
