Guest guest Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 i have that same problem only its with my eldest daughter (my sons dad isn't in the picture) but she knows that he need time to transition into something else and cant just hop from one thing to another like she can. i have to keep reminding her that he isn't normal and has to have patience to deal with him. i made the mistake tonight by deciding i was going to take a walk and leave Andy with another adult in charge all the way up there i was panicking thinking about what was going to happen and no sooner than i got halfway back i got a call and sure enough the sitter had problems with him and he wound up having a meltdown. her son kept bothering mine after having been asked not to so my son smacked his harm to get him to leave him alone so my son got in trouble after he had his meltdown because the sitter didn't remember that he doesn't like to be touched I mean wth? its easy to remember she is told everyday. id like to know when people will start remembering. Our daughter is 15 yrs old and has NEVER been able to transition well. Last night my husband politely told our daughter to go clean her room for 30 minutes before they went to the movies. He was surprised when she melted down. Seriously? When has that ever worked!? Then he gets mad and raises his voice at her because she she is crying. Huh? How does that help? Anyway, she was busy watching cartoons and couldn't just stop in the middle so she was frustrated that he was making her. Duh! Yes, I'd love it if we could just ask her to do something and she would do it but I'm not delusional, it will probably never happen. It's really easy to get her to clean her room. 1. State what has to be done. 2. Give a timeframe that it has to be done in. 3. State the consequences that will happen if it is not done. 4. Leave her alone to do it. It is SO easy why can't he remember?! " You need to clean your room by bedtime tonight. If it's not done then you will loose all electronics until it is done. " Simple. Easy. Effective. No arguments...just compliance. She finishes doing what she is doing and then cleans her room. Done peacefully.  I reminded him that she doesn't transition like that and yada yada yada. So now he feels like the south end of a north bound donkey. I wouldn't be so irritated but I had a massive migraine so I couldn't even leave the dark, (kind of) quiet bedroom.  I had to listen to it through the walls and couldn't do much about it.  Sorry, just had to vent a little!     Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you; Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 My now 26 yr. old used to have night terrors. One night when meltdown stopped, with my son in the room, my husband started to pack a suitcase and he told us he was leaving. It took my son a LONG time to recover from that night. My husband, of course, did not leave. He just doesn't get our son. Sometimes, I wish he would have left.
