(or maybe that was another RAD mom? lol) Anyway, my Aspie Boy is like this and he DOESN'T have RADs. I do like the other moms have already said, I put the ball back in his court. "Well son? what do you want me to do about it?" and he usually stops his incessant ranting and harumphs and walks away. Blessed peace for about 10 minutes! lolIntegrity Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196095126605205738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-82342943608234388132010-01-07T15:10:19.695-06:002010-01-07T15:10:19.695-06:00I think I have a younger, smaller, darker (skinned...I think I have a younger, smaller, darker (skinned, that is) version of your D! EVERYTHING is MY fault. I am so mean. I hate him. I NEVER let him do anything. LOL---So in my world, you have a very NORMAL life. <br /><br />My steadfast answer is, "I'm so sorry you feel that way." Lather, rinse, repeat. I love when I ask him, "What can I do to make you feel better?" There never is an answer for that one!~Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07473448768301577048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-37071975558645001962010-01-07T14:47:19.782-06:002010-01-07T14:47:19.782-06:00Have you tried asking D. exactly what it is you do...Have you tried asking D. exactly what it is you do that is so "mean?' He'll probably reply, "everything," but if you press him to be specific "so you can stop being mean," what will he say?<br />He seems to have the reasoning power of a much younger child. He is the center of his world and his mother has godlike powers. Does he get the concept of free will and responsibility or does he think you should have prevented him from getting a stomachache, not by refusing to let him eat too many brownies (because that would be "mean") but by your supernatural Mother Powers.<br />Frankly, I don't see how you do it. I need some downtime and my bedroom, particularly my bed, is off limits to everyone but my husband and myself. When the kids were small and they were sick I'd occasionally cuddle with them in their beds but my bed was a no-kid zone.<br />Just thinking of having a bid kid like D. lying next to me and repeating "photosynthesis" over and over makes my head hurt.Miz Kizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650747741395559803noreply@blogger.com
