    He was pretty out of control - to an outsider it must have looked horrific, so i can see why they were disgusted. I'm really worried about going to work - I don't think Stu would be able to cope with him on his own when he's like this. But I was off on Wednesday with Natasha, so not much choice but to go in.

    :( Just had an awful time with Ryan - he came out of school so angry, and because I didn't have any money to buy him something from the ice cream van parked outside, he flew into a rage - he dug his nails into my arm and made long scratches all down it, punched me in the arm and back, and kicked my in the leg. Then he refused to come home, and I had to pull him along, kicking and screaming all the way here. My arm looks terrible, going to have to wear a long sleeved top for work tonight even though it's boiling. Natasha is sitting on my knee and doesn't want me to put her down because Ryan's shouting has upset her.....and feel like crap because everyone was looking at me absolutely disgusted, because obviously I must be the worlds worst mother to bring up a child that does that, mustn't I. :(

    NO your not that title is mine and mine alone I have taken many a year abusing and neglecting to get that and your not having it LOL
    Snags it's the end of term and everyone is ratty and tired especially Ryan he has so much more to deal with than other kids so the odd break down isn't the end of the world ..... I would wait until he calms down have a chat, cuddle(if he will let you) and a kiss (if he will let you my 7 yr old won't let me anymore:o)


    (just in case anyone thinks I do abuse and neglect my children I don't really :rotfl:)

    We have all been there Snaggs, my son punched me in the face once in a complete temper tantrum because I turned off his computer game after 3 warnings..........I am sure he was as shocked as I was but at the age Ryan is they are still learning how to control their temper even without aspergers.

    He will calm down soon I am sure, try not to worry so :kisses3:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Snaggs, as BB said - you might think that people are thinking bad of you but most of us are thinking "thank god it's not me THIS TIME!"
    You're a great mum and don't go putting yourself down for one bad day, think of all the lovely things Ryan has done.

    Well I won't be starting my own business any time soon. My genius idea for maternity wear on hire is already in existence. No early retirement or articlesabout being a multitasking millionaire mum for me :cool:

    apparently my 'gas isn't earthed' and the gas goes straight to the fuse box?! Apparently there's a 'million to one chance of getting a shock from the cooker when I turn on the gas!

    The boiler didn't want to re-light either, he thought the ignition switch had gone - that would really have been the law of sod.

    anyway, all done , gas is back on, new meter installed and I can go and see Charlie now.

    The digging has also re-started so good timing to escape!

    Exactly.... I've had similar tantrums from the girls... completely out of control throwing themselves in the road and all sorts..
    We've all been threw it so please don't feel like a bad mum.
