Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I just need a little TLC I guess. Today has been a frustrating day for me. LJ, our 4 year old (who we're adopting) has a severe behavior disorder... which we well knew when we chose to take him and his brother... but it doesn't mean that sometimes it isn't a little overwhelming. Today we were in Wal-Mart when he decided to throw one of his monster tantrums. I successfully avoided being scratched and bit by him, but he did manage to punch me in the face twice before I could get him out of the store. I should have just walked straight out... but I was desperate to buy something ( a little harness so he doesn't get away from me!) ...so I was trying to hold him while pulling the money out of my purse. LJ is a big boy at 4 1/2, weighing around 50 pounds. Then... we stood in the parking lot... with me holding him to keep him from hurting me... while he screamed at the top of his lungs for 30 minutes. At least, it was less disturbing to the world than when he was screaming at the top of his lungs INSIDE the store! ........ahhhh, fortunately, he wore himself out so badly... he's asleep. I love both my boys dearly... and wouldn't trade them for the world... Elle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
