Last night, I could tell there was a near miss. M wanted to argue over pants (AGAIN!) Probably the hundredth time since August. Here’s the story. In August, we bought him 6 pairs of blue jeans that fit. That he liked. … Continue reading
So, it seems we can’t go a weekend without a fight, a potential disruption, a breakdown. Last week, it was another “you can’t follow the simplest of rules, so you don’t want to be here. Let me help you. Here’s … Continue reading
