So it's not even 11am and I am ready to call it a day. Today was Brady's first day of T-ball, and what a nightmare. Right before we left DH and I got in an argument because I got frustrated that he couldn't find DS mitt, even though I told him where it was (this happens all the time) and I huffed, which he found incredibly insulting (it was).
So argument unresolved we get to the T-ball fields, where we run into a woman that DH has been having a lot of trouble with at work (she is a little unstable, harassing him in a way that he can't say anything about, long story) which makes us all tense up (are we going to have to play T-ball with her here? No, luckily) Then DS will NOT participate from the moment go. Doesn't want his shirt, no name tag, cling to leg, then dead act in the grass (I'll have to attach a picture, it's amusing)
Ususally after dead act, he slowly comes to life, but then DH had to leave for work, and went to talk to DS (I warned him not too) and the tantrum came back in full force. After he left for work, I tried to make him stand on the side and watch and be a good teammate, the tantrum kept escalating. So we finally left in full blown hyperventalating crying ( I still have DD on my hip).
Got home, DH called and we talked... DS is sulking on my bed. He is so attached to the binky (his "me-me") and I am so fed up with it, I threw 2 away for his punishment for his poor behavior. I hesitate on cutting them out completely (but I think I'm doing to really start taking more drastic measures) becasue he has social delays that really come to light during events like today. He has been getting therapy, but I just worry so much that he will never be "normal" in society. He doesn't have enought of a delay to get Special Ed (we tested him, he is a 79 and you need to be a 77 to qualify) But today just really makes me sad that he can't participate. And I know his dad has these same social issues. It's hard when there is something that you just can't fix.
Any good cures for the binky issue? I will have to do away with DD's too, since he will steal hers to get his "fix".
And I intend to keep going to T-ball.
I'm glad I have this place to vent, I don't have many other places to dump it!
