[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I could have written your exact post.  I completely understand.  I feel like I walk on eggshells every day.

I apologize for his behavior to family and strangers.  I, too, have excuses lined up:  His nap was cut short, "He isn't usually like this," he didn't get enough sleep last night, he gets overwhelmed easily, etc.  Everyone comments on how serious/solemn he is....I never really know what to say. Mine, too, can be such a joy and so charming...but very few people ever really see this.

Out of curiosity, are you a SAHM?  A few people have suggested I put my DS in a part-time mother's day out or early pre-school program...not to just give myself a break, but to see if it somehow helps with his behavior (the change of environment, caretakers, etc.)  Have you thought about something like that?

I've wondered about this! I'm mostly SAHM; I work part time from home and on those afternoons he's with his dad or our babysitter and her daughter who is his same age. His disposition seems to be the same for all three of us. We have seriously considered whether a part-time early preschool type situation would be good for him. It's hard to say. We'll probably give it a try sometime in the next year. [/quote]
