Kids Will Be Kids

Today has been a little harder day to handle. It seems as though SS7 has had a very hard day of not listening! He has had trouble all day with following any rules! It is getting frustrating! Seems like we are talking to the wall continuously. There are times I feel like he just doesn't care what we say, because we can tell him to do something or not to do something and he does what he wants anyway. It is so hard to keep our calm with him and keep explaining that he needs to follow rules. Don't get me wrong now that we have his meds it is helping, but I have to keep saying to myself just remember he is just a kid. Although, it seems at his age he should be kind of be getting use to rules considering we've been having the same rules since he was 18 months old. Maybe I'm just having a bad day. Any suggestions? Other than to just breath?

Thanks. We are consistent. It's just that with only having every other weekend. It is like we have to try to reprogram him to do right from wrong. By the time he is leaves us things are going well. As I said I'm sure some of it was that it's been a long week and partially me. Sometimes it's just frustrating.
