Shirley, I really feel for you. We just cant say no to our kids, can we. A bit different , I know but we look after our 5mth old twin grandaughters on a thurs afternoon and last week when we had them oh had a migraine (he also had a mild stroke a couple of weeks ago) Both are teething and one of them had an absolute hissy fit and just wouldn't stop screaming for about an hour then the other one joined in. I ended up walking around with one in each arm trying to sooth both of them :( Boy was I shattered when they went home. Absolutly love them to bits BUT they are hard work at the moment. Hope all goes well for you next week. :-)

Good luck Shirley. Having had my 17yr old nephew out here for 9days who is ADHD highly intelligent, very short fused, and a lack of understanding about broad spectrum's of speech. So yes you have to say exactly what you want. I feel admiration for any mother.
Let us know how you get on and remember we are here when you need to scream. <3

Our daughter rang me last week. MUM i need a favour !! her stepson who lives with them and has learning difficulties on the autistic spectrum is on half term hollies this week . He goes to special needs school and she has adjusted her working time around his schooling .
He will be going to his mum on Wed & Thursday as per court order but not sure if his mum will take him as she finds him difficult to cope with .

So Mum can he come to you on Sunday evening till Tuesday and then possibly back for Friday . Cant say no cos her job wont give her unpaid leave

He is 13 going on 6!! but has tantrums etc and possible now teenage hormones kicking in .

He is obsessed with the PC Knows more than me on how to use some things like powerpoint . Will run out the print cartridges in a day with obsessive printing . Have been told to limit his printing

He is into Justins house and has been sending me numerous emails with various images so he will be wanting to print them.

He is a lovely lad but a handful needs 24/7 attention . Thank goodness I can escape for a time tomorrow afternoon cos have a dental appointment

Oh the joys . Hope OH can cope too with his short fuse now
