Well, nope. Flying to NC was niot a good idea.
Ive had about 20 minutes total while sam has been awake. I may as well have stayed home and hired a babysitter,
Tonight was the worst night when my dad and step mother blindsided me and tried to discipline same with a firm unyeilding tactic.. To which sam flipped out and cried for an hour.
So, basically they think i am poorly parenting sam... That all sam needs is a firmer, more disciplined parent.., well, at least it bckfired,, but poor sam and poor me, it was horrible.
My step mother... Who has been telling me what i need to do for sam after spending all of 3 minutes with sam told me tongight that my son needs a psychiatrist,

Enough with the monday morning quarterbacking... Dont you think I know what he needs?
Idiots?

I'm so sorry Scarlett. I never liked when other people told me what my kids need. Like I didn't know that already. It infuriates me.

I am sorry. 
I don't get it. I am lucky in that Johnny is more laid back. I pay for it with Garrett in spades. I try to be bad cop and end up with meltdowns, and NO reason behind them!

You are a good Mom to Sam, you know what Sam needs...... and that is all that matters.

I agree with Steph. You know what he needs. I wish that someone was closer to you so you could get a break though.    but on the bright side, you are a week closer to school starting up again then you were last week.

Hugs momma. hope it gets easier.

You're a better person than I am Scarlett. I would've exploded on both of them!
YOU know what sam needs, not them. You live w him 24/7. They see him how often? People of that generation don't believe in all the "new" diagnosis's we have. They think its just bad-kid-syndrome. So I'm sorry you and poor sam had to go through that. When you get home maybe you should get a babysitter for the day and pamper yourself. Spa day! You deserve it.
