[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 635797, member: 13260"] Mmmyeah, I know how this goes. My grandson had a weeping, crying melt-down today while doing his homework. It's work he knows how to do, but wanted to do it his way, which was incorrect, and when nicely pressed to please starting adding and subtracting the columns from the right (ones place, then move left), he was insistent on doing it his way, then promptly fell apart. His mom just spent some quiet, hugging, talking time with him and got a few things from him (his father is a total jerk, and they share custody. She's tried to change it but California doesn't give 100% custody unless the other parent is in jail or a child molester. I'm exaggerating, but not by much.) But, he didn't act out, wasn't rude, and removed himself from the room. It was heartbreaking. As for the sass, he gives his Mom a lot of sass, but not me or my husband. And I've heard this comes into full bloom starting at around age 8. Ooooh man. I have no patience for that, so we'll see. I hope your evening tomorrow goes better. I don't know if J's school is full of holiday goings-on, but my students in my classes have pretty much universally been dysregulated hot messes. I'm ready for a break, and I'm sure they are, too.
