[QUOTE="Star*, post: 128776, member: 4964"] I feel like a 19th century top. The kind you wrap the string around and then pull. The top spins fast at first, and around and around in a whirlwind of delight and energy only to eventually have it's revolutions reduced to wobbling and eventually die with no energy and fall into a heap waiting for the cord to be wrapped around and pulled and start the process all over again. I think this process repeats itself like parents helping difficult child's until we either see improvement in our children or we hide the string ourselves and stop spinning out of control. Personally I feel like Dude replaced the string with a rip cord some days - and others I'm more like a see and say - The difficult child Mom says NO, The angry Mom says ARE YOU FOR REAL? The nice Mom says "That's nice". The Mom in the mall with a difficult child and an apparent melt down says "OH GOOD GRIEF HERE WE GO." Most days - I'm Mrs. Potato head. My lips are where my eyes should be - I've lost an ear, I have on stick legs, and combat boots, and someone mixed my hats up so now I wear a derby instead of a sun hat, and the kids pushed Mr. Potato head's moustache under my nose for so long it stuck.
