I'm sorry the whole Easter thing was such a bummer for you. You *know* that we all *know* what you're talking about. Our kids really and truly can wear us out. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Maddie has been a giant POOP factory lately and I am so incredibly tired of cleaning it up. I'm going to try to put rubber pants over her diaper and see if that contains it. I've scrubbed the tv room furniture 3x this week AND had to scrub the rugs too. Duff really wants us to all go to church together as a family every week and every week, it's becoming more and more impossible. He has to hold her the entire time (with my neck I can't wrestle with her anymore) Last week I had to take Maddie to the back of church where she proceeded to try and disconnect all the candle covers (glass ones) and hurl them----luckily I managed to stave her off from glass breaking in the church. This week was just as bad (Easter Sunday). She bought her dangly thing but her new thing she likes to do is dangle against things.....so she was INSISTENT on dangling her microphone with chord against the lady's head in front of us--------little Joe ended up leaving early with her. UGH!!!! Some days are just WAY harder than others, aren't they?!? {{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}} again CK!!!!!! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your description reminded me of many family functions we've endured with over the years. Holidays, birthday parties and various other large, noisy gatherings are not her strong suit.

Bob and I usually split up and go to separate services so that someone is home with . We may not be together in church, but at least we can concentrate and actually hear the sermon!! We tried to take her to church with us this past Christmas Eve and it was awful -- Bob had to take her home after only 15 minutes because she was yelling and trying to hit and pull the hair of the people in the row in front of us. My brother took care of her for a few hours this past Sunday so that the rest of us could go to Easter mass together for a change. It was so nice! We are going to try taking to church after she's out of her cast and comfortable again, to give her another try now that she's on Risperdal. I feel like if I never take her, how will she ever learn how to behave in church. I know how frustrating the church thing is and I sympathize with you and your hubby.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2000 Report Share Posted April 24, 2000 Thank you, Donna, and hugs to you as well. Your situation sounded even more drastic than mine. At least mine was in a private house, not in public. CK, Mom to Ian (2/89), (9/90), and Rose (6/94) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
