Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 I've seen on TV that families sit around a big table. All the members EAT THE SAME FOOD. They talk about their days. The children do homework, get ready for bed, the parents catch up with one another while sorting through things for the next day....wait, this isn't normal, this is fantasy. Oh well.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 > It would be so nice to have a nice normal evening at home. > > I wonder what that's like??? I have no idea. is upstairs banging something rhythmically, back and forth as nauseaum. Every night he gets sent to bed and every night we go through the " I can't sleep " routine. He comes down and wants to eat. He gets sent back. He comes down and wants to watch tv. He gets sent back. The rule is you go to your room and do whatever you want as long as it is quiet. He is NOT being quiet. Back and forth, back and forth. If he would lie down, be quiet and shut the hell up for five minutes he would fall asleep, but just like when he was little he cannot do that. Normal? What's normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 >>>I've seen on TV that families<< LOL Maggie! My favorite part is that every problem is solved by the end of the day and children always see the error of their ways... Re: Dillon I've seen on TV that families sit around a big table. All the members EAT THE SAME FOOD. They talk about their days. The children do homework, get ready for bed, the parents catch up with one another while sorting through things for the next day....wait, this isn't normal, this is fantasy. Oh well.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 You mean like " Leave it to Beaver " ? Or something like " 7th Heaven " when all the kids were younger? Yeah - I think I've seen that kind of stuff on TV too....where the family all sits together for meals and they have INTELLIGENT conversations and nobody throws food because the texture is all wrong for them and, and, and, and.....sorry - got a little carried away there. Love, prayers and heart hugs, Debbie (GA), Mom to Evan (4.5 y/o with ToF, RBBB, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asthma); (now a whole year old and HH and NT?); and my 3 angel babies whom I will finally see when God says it's time! 9:1-3 ============================================================ From: autumnindigo@...

Maggie, that has GOT to be fantasy tv, cause nothing even close to that EVER happens around here! What a joke! Leggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 I honestly think you are. The teenage years in our house were the most awful thing. I had a good kid, who always followed the rules, never talked back, etc., etc., but did the most sneaky, lying, extremely bizarre things... It was a very strange situation that made me question my sanity for a long, long time. (((sissi))) Penny Re: Dillon > I honestly believe if I could have put a finger on what his problems were > earlier, and paid more attention that he would be better off today. I'm hoping this is what I'm doing -- and hoping I'm not causing more problems by getting an evaluation. I'm just not sure if I'm doing the right thing or not.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Yes, it is fantasy TV. prefers to eat at the table by himself. He likes my company--I sit on the couch--but he won't eat if I sit with him. Sigh.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Sigh. Easter dinner here and Savannah. She ate ham and homemade Easter bread. That is all. Deviled eggs taste weird. She doesn't like mashed potatoes. Don't even think of putting corn on her plate. That will bring on the apocolypse. There was something else she wouldn't eat. The sad thing is, I don't see her as that picky of an eater. She didn't like the meatloaf much today. Georga Re: Dillon > > I've seen on TV that families sit around a big table.
