Next year buy him a gift certificate where you name a star after someone - tell him you think he is "just out of this world" or that he's "from another planet".

I finally just threw my hands in the air and rand out of the house. <br /><br />So, what's his birthday trauma all about? Sounds like he needs an un-birthday celebration just like the girls have.

When someone is being enough of a whiner that the kids pick up on it and start to react, that is enough of the whiner.<br /><br />Now of course, you have changed up plans that already deviated from the schedule, so you are going to pay. But, you showed your kids a great example and lesson.<br /><br />I too am a hideous cryer, so I know how that goes. I try to avoid it at all costs, I can't usually even talk what with all the gasping and suffocating going on!The Accidental Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409271721074309249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-23855262120662980652010-01-09T22:31:12.853-05:002010-01-09T22:31:12.853-05:00Hm.....now, if this were one of the girls......

Obviously birthdays are dysregulating for someone ELSE you know. <br /><br />I occasionally wonder why I can be so compassionate with my kids, but when it comes to the other adult in the home, my "Beyond Consequences" self is no where to be found.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623179886908222942noreply@blogger.com
