[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 773400, member: 17713"] Totally agree with types of questions.. And when etc.. My mom persisted on this type of question for 28 years before I told her I hated them! Boy I forgot anout the way parents can irritate the heck out of you!! Would a sit down at a table be possible for you to both air your irritations... With parent lustening more than input and with a totally mindful manner... By this I mean... Across a table actually formalises a chat.. Kids won't realise it, neither do many adults... Say something like "i would really appreciate knowing how you feel about your life with managing your diabetes.." And listen without input... Or "how do you feel about the way I talk to you about your diabetes" and listen...and don't comment...take his words as his own feelings.....and don't add your views in... You could ask "is there anything I am doing that is annoying the **** out of you".... But you would have to be big enough to take the comments on board without adding your ten penneth back in. There is a link somewhere to the do's and don'ts of how to talk to a diabetic child from a childs point of view... Its been posted a number of times.... Have you read it? I'm not saying that you haven't tried this all already but handling a child that really doesn't want to feel different to his friends and family is hard. I bet he is still asking himself "why the heck did I get this, why me?" [/QUOTE]
