[QUOTE="Andy, post: 253932, member: 5096"] O.K., Break time for Jena! You are on overload - learning a new job and moving and loosing a babysitter and difficult child melting a little harder each day! I think difficult child is picking up on your frustrations (no matter how hard you hide it, she is very sensitive and feels you struggling). Break time - Stop EVERYTHING starting NOW! Do nothing this weekend except have fun with the kids. Do you have difficult child this weekend? You go ahead and announce, "Family Time Out". Do you have a zoo nearby? A kid friendly museum? Bowling? Don't you dare do anything this weekend except family activities. Your responsibilities of unpacking, paying bills, whatever, can wait. Make an adventure out of making breakfast, lunch, dinner. In fact, make one of those meals a meal out (McDonalds?) or if public dining is hard for difficult child (go through drive through and bring it home). Have a full blown movie night at home - dress in p.j.'s get out the popcorn, soda, and candy and just have fun. Make an adventure out of everything the entire weekend. Focus only on the family - everything else is unimportant this weekend. Then end it all in your most favorite place. On Sunday night when everyone is in bed for the night, go to your bubble bath and melt. [/QUOTE]
