[QUOTE="KateM, post: 10377, member: 1973"] difficult children can cause so much stress in a family, can't they? I think a long heart to heart discussion with your hubby -- away from the heat of the moment-- can really help. Have a plan you can both live with. If difficult child has a meltdown , maybe husband can take easy child to her room for reading time while you handle difficult child (since you are able to be less emotional in your responses to difficult child). Or any other plan that works for you. The point is to have plans and contingencies in place before an incident happens. I can relate to your evening; we've had some like that, too. My husband takes things personally, while I have learned that a non-emotional response keeps things from escalating. I do see some positives in this situation, though. Your son was able to discuss this in a calm manner last evening and he saw his part in the problem and felt remorse. [/QUOTE]
