[quote=Anonymous]OP, would it be possible to let him have his crazy time? Maybe the fact that he has power over you with his behavior is what makes it rewarding. Does MB take a lunch hour? Why not leave him in the room, close the door, and let him jump to his hearts content? I know it sounds counter intuitive but maybe that's the one avenue you have not tried.

No matter what you do I think it has come time to talk to mom. Let her know you are vigilant about her need for quiet during work hours. Ask her what strategies she has tried (...with success). It's worth mentioning that DC is uninterested/lethargic at the park. Maybe there is something else going on (separation anxiety comes to mind).

If DC really has a hyper active personality, then try not to internalize that fact. And remember that you are part of a team, the whole team needs to come together to meet DC's needs, not just you. It may be that this is the kid you have, even if it isn't the one everyone wishes they had. Maybe MB has a rowdy, hyper active, captain destructo who really needs space to be himself. Maybe WAH just is not the right fit for their family.[/quote]
