[QUOTE="nvts, post: 183352, member: 3814"] Hi Sarah! Welcome to the crowd! First off, don't ever feel guilty about feeling feelings. They're exactly that. Feelings. Nothing more, nothing less. My philosophy on guilt in all of our situations is: Guilt is useless unless YOU'RE using it ON someone else to get what you want! :winking: Your husband is doing what I call "armchair quarterbacking". There's always one who "gets it" when it comes to our kids, which ultimately makes the ride a little smoother for the onlooker. In the meantime, they feel quite comfortable letting you know that YOU'RE the one doing stuff wrong. It's natural, obnoxious as all get out, but natural. You've been through a lot hon, so make sure you're taking care of you. He'll get his MBA, but in the meantime, if you don't take care of yourself, you'll be a stressed out loon before that happens. Sounds great that he got a Special Education placement. Phone calls all of the time will drive a saint berserk! Try reading Ross Greene's "The Explosive Child" and somewhere in the Early Childhood forum, there's info. about using that method on small children. Welcome to the crowd! We're a fun bunch with a lot of collective experience. Make sure you stop into the Watercooler, that's where we hang out and goof off about pet peeves, funny things we've seen heard and basically share our joys and sorrows. That's where it's time for family to simply shoot the breeze! Beth [/QUOTE]
