I don't know that you truly hate the kid your T sees since you don't know him. My T once compared me to her own 3 year old granddaughter :-) When you start "hating" you should look and see what it is that is "really" bothering you?

You told your T not to call you back and he didn't. Projection of the hate I think; you were wishing to be "grown up" and not need his call back but you secretly wanted it anyway? But you don't allow yourself to want it? Want it! :-)

Get clever with the callbacks and put your T in a "real" bind; tell him it's up to him whether or not he calls you back, LOL. Then, if he doesn't call you back it will be his decision and you can "hate" him for being a bad decision-maker.

I was camping with my grandchildren 3 and 2 this weekend and they and my stepson had a variety of neat "rituals"; if someone "fell down" the answer was that they "didn't stick the landing" (as in gymnastics :-) They were up in the top bunk of the RV and the 2 year old kept trying to stand up and it's not high enough so my son would say, "Hey Chaz, don't stand up" and Chaz would repeat that (and then try to stand up again :-) The day/night/today were very entertaining with them and seeing how they learn. So much going on! They are learning a good habit, when their father "speaks" to them (because they have caused a problem for him/themselves) they have to look at him and repeat what he says several times to make sure they "learn"/know it. Granddaughter Paige has "trouble" with trash and keeps picking up old/other people's :-) and that's kind of dangerous from a germs point of view? There was a 5 minute "argument" about "I told you to stop picking up trash"/"But it isn't ours!" as if she only wasn't allowed to pick up "our" trash (and stepson had to reiterate that "we" don't throw our trash on the ground so "of course" it is not ours).

My favorite though was last night when Paige was "rocking" in the little 4-legged plastic chairs, begging for a catastrophe :-) and stepson told the story of when he was a little boy and his father (husband Scott) made a rule that "at least 3 legs have to be on the ground at all times", LOL!
