Thanks, like I said, he doesn't melt down this badly frequently, but when he does...ugh. When he does it at home, I go to my room and lock the door because otherwise, he will find me and I will be targetted. Thankfully, I've never had to handle a meltdown in the parks. He tends to save his worst behavior for our parents.

When we flew down here, our flight was delayed by an hour, and we just sat there on the plane. He was with me, and my parents were pretty far behind us. I put on a movie, insisted he watch, and he nagged me a bit, but not tok badly. I think with my parents, he would have melted down. I've had to deal with meltdowns on my own, but not to the same degree my parents must deal with them.

Yeah, I think I remember reading somewhere that kids usually behave the worst with the parents because they need to test boundaries in order to feel secure. I was like, great...

Finally getting some stuff into the bedroom

Love it!

Dunno at this point. We are switching resorts and have FP times for DHS. If it rains, we'll all go to DHS. My brother and I were talking about going by ourselves, but given his behavior, my parents may put the kibash on that. We have an ADR at Spice Road. New one; figured we would try it.

Looking forward to hearing about your experience at Spice Road - the menu sounds pretty tasty.

I feel bad for my mom...she bears the brunt of his behavior. My dad unfortunately wasn't here and didn't take his cell phone; otherwise, I would have gotten him back here and the meltdown would have been done a lot sooner. Now my dad is talking to my brother.

I had to lock myself in the bathroom, which compared to getting whacked on the head and dealing with the screaming, the kicking, and the repeated attempts to run out the door, is really not that bad.

I totally understand. When they're out of control, sometimes removing yourself is the best solution. Plus it's important not to take the behavior personally.

I know, so talented, both her and her brother! Although internal suffering seems to be a trait with lots of great artists.

They also had stage parents She also had the same problem as Judy Garland, Hollywood's obsession with being thin and not taking into account one's natural body. Very sad Thank goodness for J Lo and Beyoncé!

In other news.. Very sorry to post again in succession and in a row.
I usually can only check this forum 2 times per day (after work during lunch break and at night before gaming and bed time)

Post away my friend, post away! xoxo

Time to go. We are under a flashflood warning, and are having heavy thunderstorms. At least we are getting needed rain!

Sympathy like!

 

[Figgy1]

I don't even understand why this would be open to discussion. Of course you have to bring Figment!

Thank you I'd feel naked without him!

 

[Figgy1]

Sounds like you are doing a great job of preparing him. Hope it works out. If it doesn't work out the way you hoped, I have a suggestion, and it works with your " slower than usual" pace idea. Go in the morning, head back to the condo and use the pool. Go to EMH park later. All by car, don't have to worry about the bus.

THNX We won't have EMH on the condo days, only the days at SOG. Those 3 days we'll use the bus or monorail, I think he'll be fine.

Facebook, what are you trying to tell me?

ROFLOL!

In all my trying to "ketchup" , I forgot to mention that DS and myself are headin' down to the coast Wednesday mornin'.
DWifey and youngest DD will join us Thursday night due to other commitments.
My folks have been renting a coupla' condos down there for a coupla' weeks for the last few summers, and all of us 4 sibs and our families try to trade off spending a few days down there.
Finally, at least some vacation-ish time.

But, also, we'll be heading to Houston from there around noon on Saturday to Help my BIL move into his new home. Hopefully, that doesn't go too far into Sunday...

Have a great trip!

Little brothers:

You love them, but every now and then, they make you want to never, ever, have kids.

Or at least boys.

Having boys sometimes makes you feel the same way

I'm currently locked in the bathroom due to my brother's meltdown. Am about ready to put on clothes and leave.

He doesn't have these frequently, but when he does...yikes.

Sympathy like! xoxo

Good morning @MR FERRET loving your new bedroom!

Oh, I hope you have a fun vacation on the coast!! And, don't overdue it, helping with the move for your BIL; easy to injure yourself hauling around heavy boxes, furniture, etc.

So sorry you have to deal with this behavior.

Growing up, I had two older brothers. They both had split personalities: 1. Fun. 2. Jerks. But, they were still my buddies.
