[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 655357, member: 17542"] Lil, it's so interesting that if we aren't right there in the exact moment when they reach out...that it's never mind. Our dcs are so impulsive. It's like something flashes in their brain, they reach out for Mommy like they have always done, and then...it's gone. My son did that a million times. He couldn't take on the slightest responsibility. Shrug. I don't know. One time I screamed at the top of my lungs: Well if you don't know, who does? I was so sick and tired of hearing that complete lack of responsibility every single time. The moral to the story, for me, has been: Not being there isn't going to result in a him completely cratering. 99 percent of the time, he was acting on impulse and the impulse passed. More support for not answering the phone and letting all calls go to voice mail when you need to. It's very likely to pass, just like the storm always passes. [/QUOTE]
