[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you can really help this family a lot if you are able to deal with the craziness for awhile longer. Maybe give it six months and then evaluate? I think it's important not to reevaluate the job every day- maybe set a few times during the six months where you decide to check in with yourself and the family and see if it is still working but try not to second guess each day. Hard to do but I find with situations like this that I am constantly struggling about whether to stay or whether to go and maybe it is better to set a firm timeline for giving it a try for a bit longer [/quote]

Thank you so much! I think you are right and I need to stop thinking about it so much and wait a period then reevaluate.  After all he doesn't misbehave with me anyway. One of his therapists has given the parents a chart to document his tantrums, the trigger, duration and consequence. It's for us all and she wants them to notice the pattern that they only occur with them even over the slightest thing. I noticed that the consequence section was being left blank and spoke to my mb to explain what the therapist wants. She said by the time the tantrums end they are so relieved they don't do anything but move forward with the day. Thing is he is so clever he realizes this and knows nothing will occur. I'm just going to hang in there and keep checking in with them about their evenings and give tips. I made a joke to his ot that I should pop up one Sunday afternoon and see how he behaves, or tell them to not let him know I'm there and guide them through it lol. They are really clueless but the ability to conceive doesn't mean you'll know what to do later and I have to remember that. I just worry that they want him medicated and he doesn't need that at all.
