[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 519101, member: 455"] Sounds like my middle difficult child! When she gets like that, and if she were to be going out like your difficult child, we would normally say "don't do what you need to do and no going out." I get that [I]you[/I] needed the break been there done that myself. Usually difficult child wants to go bad enough that she will get it done even if it's the last moments, which it usually is after all her whining and complaining and stalling. A 6 hour drive? Yeah, not fun. Try it with 3 of them that fight! *sigh* Game boys, ds', mp3s? Those have been our saving graces on trips like that. Stopping for bathroom breaks, having lots of snacks, sometimes we are able to engage in car games (like counting how many of a certain colored car, alphabet searches -finding something that begins with a in a sign etc., any of your classic games which you can also find online). It may sound like they are for young kids but you'd be surprised that even teens will go for it when they are bored and tired of listening to or playing their games. Do you have portable DVD player (s)? That has also been another saving grace as well. I do hope you have an enjoyable trip. Any of the ideas above will also work at the location to for boredom times. Kids naturally will get into it just like at home and become ornary. Hopefully the different change of pace/scenery, however, will help a bit more! :) [/QUOTE]
