[QUOTE="BellJar, post: 475896, member: 13068"] *winces* been there done that with Salinger - he'll say anything to anyone. Does difficult child truly understand that what he said and how he said it is hurtful? I know we can think they understand but I had to learn with Salinger he really didn't and I didn't realize that for a long time. Even if he had been told, he takes everything so literally. 'No, Mom, you said not to call people FAT, you didn't say anything about being stupid!' o.O I have to watch what I say around him or explain outright what I meant by it and that it's not OK to repeat it or twist it. How does difficult child take it when you talk to him about these comments? Such a frustrating situation either way. Is there any way that difficult child can be otherwise occupied while easy child does homework? Anyone that can take him out or keep an eye on him in the home? Or afterschool homework program for easy child? *hugs* for you and easy child and difficult child as well. [/QUOTE]
