guess what bothers me is that H seems to be the one with "special needs".

Quote of the day! I'm glad I wasn't the only one that found it amusing!!

I can kinda relate to the out-of-control energy...I used to be like that where if I felt I couldn't get a situation under control I was going to explode. Of course, over the years I've become a lot more calm and even when DD pushes my buttons with her fake crying and then turning it into a real crying session which keeps getting louder and louder I can still manage the situation without any drama. Sure I still feel the frustration inside but I know that my exploding is only going to make it worse and not better and I'm the adult here.

Sorry you had a somewhat rough day but I think overall you did excellent and I wouldn't be too concerned about your H at this point.
