[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, and things are still deteriorating. We have tried withholding privileges and room time, and this just creates more conflict and gets DS even more upset and angry at AP. The other two children are 7 and 5, and seem to do alright, but the 7 year old is now starting to pick up on his big brother's attitude and treatment and is starting to mimic it sometimes.  I don't know what more I can do. We cannot afford an Au Pair and a nanny or and Au Pair and also expensive after school programs/after care.  I work full time and so does DH.

We have DS in therapy and it isn't helping. AP seems absolutely miserable and I don't blame her. He tells her to shut up and throws things at her.  We try disciplining him and it escalates over and over again.  DH and I always have our AP's back and take her side and try to give her authority, etc., but nothing is improving. I feel like the worst parent/person in the world because of how DS is acting. it's so out of character, and only seems to be directed at AP. [b] he is fine in school and generally at home with us[/b]. [/quote]

That isnt what you said in your original post. How long has he been seeing your doctors/therapists/etc? Perhaps you need a new one. Don't blame the AP if he's done it for other APs. [/quote]
