[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 606054"] No one ever parents a difficult child right because all those on the outside looking in want to blame the parents! It can't be the kids fault, or school's fault, or their fault, so it must be the parents fault. It always has to be someones fault for them. (Yes, sometimes it is clearly one persons fault, but most of the time parents and professionals are all trying their hardest for the kids.) I am blamed for my kids behavior all the time. Ann pulls all her clothes out of her drawer then I'm a bad mom for not giving her enough attention. difficult child 1 has anxiety I'm not a good mom for not reassuring him enough. difficult child 2 smears poo I should've done more sensory diet stuff with him. Ect... When I was told by a family member that if she could just take difficult child 1 from me and parent him herself he would be fine I stopped listening. The advice of those who haven't lived with my difficult children just doesn't matter. Even professionals I like and respect give me advice occasionally that I toss out the window either because it isn't in their field of expertise or they aren't taking into consideration what it is really like to live with my kids. Those coaches all have no clue and aren't worth listening to. Still is jaw dropping to actually hear it though. [/QUOTE]
