[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 480032"] We have that, too, and I agree with you that it drives me crazy. One thing that I have found that helps is to include difficult child in things that I do that he likes to do as well, which for him is helping me in the kitchen. Cooking, baking, making dinner, whatever it is. And I use it as a carrot. If you are not going to be nice to me, there is no way I am going to let you cook with me. It's given him self esteem that he can do something for the rest of us, and it's given him some attention from me that he felt he was not getting otherwise. [/QUOTE]
