[QUOTE="slsh, post: 373340, member: 8"] Respite is for *you*. It's *your* respite, not his. He gets 4 hours of "fun" (which in and of itself may not be a bad thing - our kids get so few opportunities to have successful social activities), and you get 4 hours of not being called (insert lovely phrase of the day) and used as a punching bag. TAKE IT!!!! in my humble opinion, you should never pass up an opportunity to get a break. Never ever ever. We never had the opportunity for respite, but if we had, and I had waited for difficult child to earn *my* time off... well, I'd still be waiting! :rofl: If it's fun and he wants to go, so much the better. That means one less fight. Again, I cannot stress this enough - the respite is yours, not his. Do this for yourself, please. [/QUOTE]
