Thank you sotto... the son thing is no longer an issue. I dont even know if i want son around him.
My son is adhd and he is not always easy to discipline. The last thing i want is for him to witness me being undermined.
Its little things. Like in the airport i was going the wrong way, and we were both looking for car rental. I thought people with badges were airport staff (they werent) and asked for directions and he got short with me for asking the wrong people.
I feel like thusbwqs our first trip away. My actions shouldnt annoy soneone so much. And if they do, keep it to your self.
I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement for kids. I know its not always possible. And NG has a teenager, which is totally different.
I hear how he yells and complains about his daughter. And i think,"oh god. I do the same stuff she does" (Forget to water plants, forget my laundry in the dryer) and then i think, i dont want my son to be constantly criticized. He already gets into enough trouble at school as it is.
He just always seems angry.
And i know how that comes out hearing it from me! I write a bit differently then i am. But IRL, im the person my boss gives the difficult patients to. I am told by everyone..other parents, my mom, my best friend..how patient amd easy going i am. I dont look for fights ir drama.
