[QUOTE="Malika, post: 519087, member: 11227"] Ah, yes, MWM, words of wisdom! :) I am sure you are right. Why waste my time?? The thing is, though... this is what is confusing... quite a lot of the time, J is like a "normal" child - a spirited, more active than usual one, but co-operative, helpful, friendly and polite. So this sets me up, again and again, for thinking "oh, okay then...." and not giving him special considerations or treatment. I keep getting lulled into this false sense of things (as one would, I suppose). It is odd. I don't understand why he is sometimes so easy child-ish and then suddenly this difficult child will come roaring out again. And I did, yes, think exactly this today - I can pull some kind of authority over him now but it won't be like this when he is 15. Oh lord, can we just jump to 21, please :) [/QUOTE]
