I am seriously going nuts...

Apparently even though the doctors have confirmed that Anthony's hearing is good, I think they have it wrong. That child's behavior is driving me to the brink. Every morning it is a struggle with him. Every single morning. On Tuesday he actually did what he was told, followed through, and made really good decisions. Last night he played soccer like a champ which was a complete 180 from the week before when he sat on the sidelines and refused to play because he didn't have his own ball from home like the some of the other kids. Erik was really smart in making him sit there and watch the whole time though and not giving into his behavior. Because last night he couldn't get out of the car fast enough even though he still didn't have his own ball because he certainly wasn't going to just sit and watch after last week. This morning I told him that we are going to have a meeting with Monsignor Mike to tell him about Anthony's behavior and get some ideas from him to help solve it. Anthony sobbed from the time I told him that to a block away from school. He hops out of the car and acts like he doesn't have a care in the world. Really? I wanted to sob all the way to work. I am so over parenting today...ugghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain. After not seeing Izzy for 4 days I got home on Tue. night. She has had the worst behavior of her life the past two days. Pretty sure she is punishing me for being gone. Either that or this is a new phase....I'm sure hoping that's not the case. Hang in there!

We call it "selective hearing" at our house. What? Huh? OMG. Drives me nuts!!! Anthony is just like all other kids his age--and they always behave worst for mom and dad.
