Yet another day...
Fri Jun 14 2002

I can always tell the mood of the day by the first time I tell #1 to turn off the TV. When it is refused accompanied by telling me what kind of person I am (usually whore, bitch or worse) I know this will not be a successful day.

I think I am just going to keep #1 in his room today. I am sick of dealing with him, and can already feel my blood pressure shooting up just thinking about dealing with him.

While I joke about it, it is days like this that I really wish I did use duct tape on him.....

OK, maybe not. I still like the idea of a subdural implant that delivers shocks through a remote control when he misbehaves though.....

    Just courious, DO you ask him to turn it off right in the middle of, or before what he is watching is over? My Dad used to come home from work, walk in and go directly to the TV to shut it off no matter what we were watching. It made me so made I thought, What an asshole! even kids deserve to be treated with respect. IF you were trying to stop him in the middle of a show maybe ask him to turn it off right after THAT show. That way he can finish what he was doing, then do what you want him to do. If you were waiting until his show was over I don't understand his instant hostility. Something, maybe from past experiences, had to make him angery at you for him to react in that way. If there is absolutly no reason at all bring this up with family theropy so you can find out where he is coming from and not have to be verbaly abused in the future. Summer has not even started yet so I hope you can solve the problem in a way good for both of you. Putting an attention deficit person into a small space all day would be like torture, and cause further aggression from him for sure. Pent up equals blow up with that kid. Good Luck!

    ooh! Two for the price of one--Hugh and Robert. (That is Hugh in the middle, right?) Poor RDJr, so much talent, determined to blow it all to ... heck.

    I heard the "Bourne Identity" was really good--would love to see it this weekend.
