I thought he was being silly but it seems that he is really seriously needing some guidence..lol<br /><br />Ds #1 is really just "tween" and I have to get used to the fact that he is really just growing up and doesn't need the "interaction" he craved a few years ago..I just miss those days with him I guess..lol.Seoul Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03232766729865506653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242343446335087808.post-13259957452947885982011-05-27T04:48:24.067-07:002011-05-27T04:48:24.067-07:00Jackie-
Our lives are similar in many ways. First...Jackie-<br /><br />Our lives are similar in many ways. First I will tell you I am a type A personality and dh has ADD and so does ds. My dh is a musician who works nights and he is home during the day. I also get frustrated with him because it seems he does nothing while I am gone- yet I have to come home and handle dinner, homework, bedtime, etc. alone. I get bitter and resentful that he has the fun lifestyle and I have the adult lifestyle. We have these discussion and things don't seem to get better...and he admits he struggles during the day. What he asks of me is to make a list and he will do his best to complete the list during the day. If I don't make a list, he will do nothing. So on his daily list is EXACTLY what he needs to do - dishes, mow the lawn, etc. <br />If your dh agrees you could do the same thing, but include stuff for Joseph - 9:00 have "music class" 10:00 coloring time. 11:00- go on a nature walk, etc. It will take some planning on your part, but may relieve some of your resentment if you think he is holding up his end of the daddy side. The other thing that has helped my dh is me pushing him to be the "man" of the house. I think deep inside they want to be known as the one who is ultimately responsible - so pushing them to take the lead is almost like the right of passage they are waiting for. Don't get me wrong, no day is perfect, but it has brought us to a meeting point on expectations.<br /><br />I don't know have any advise on your ds, since mine is only 9 and his attitude is horrible. I try talking with him daily and I really do fear the future teen years. Church and God plays a huge part in our lives and I keep hoping that over time that will soften him.<br /><br />If you want to talk more e-mail me barb61774@yahoo.com<br /><br />Your old BC friend ~ BarbSam and Josie's Parentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581312793403193702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242343446335087808.post-71388340480244868322011-05-15T11:45:36.816-07:002011-05-15T11:45:36.816-07:00Wonderful news, he has graduated from bun to a ful...Wonderful news, he has graduated from bun to a full loaf already! :) xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651796001298276794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242343446335087808.post-47665509440741766532011-03-11T04:21:21.581-08:002011-03-11T04:21:21.581-08:00Congratulations Jackie!
