Quote: H may be absolutely correct that your son adores you but surely he can understand that doesn't excuse being discourteous and not acknowledging a simple greeting.
He certainly couldn't at the time. These things don't go one every day...the direct instances are few, I don't want to paint a worse picture than it is. S4 does not normally blatantly *DIS*respect me. There's just an underlying feeling that he doesn't respect me, as he shys from my affection, looks away when I'm talking to him as though he could care less what I'm saying even though I might be trying to ask about his day. This could be "normal" behavior for a 4 year old, as their attention spans are pretty short!! What makes it feel less than normal is that he seems to interact so much differently and better with Dad.
Quote: Shot in the dark here, but he and I have been alike in a lot of ways so far...does he have sleep apnea? That would explain being stuck in a rut.
Gosh, Bud, I don't know, but can you talk more about that? H is ALWAYS tired and has had what I would call a sleep disorder all his life.....
