I am home educating my younger son. He has been dx with HFA. He goes on and on about the items he wants for Xmas, wanting me to search on the Internet, listen to his plans. After a while I get honest and say I need 10 mins on my own, no talking just peace and quiet. His response is, you don't care, you are not interested in me. Goes off in a huff.
If I just sit and respond to his every piece of one sided conversation I will be teaching him that other people are meant for his use and do not have feelings and wishes of their own.
How do you people out there model responsive parenting but not get walked over? I think I know the answer...you win some you lose some and eventually it will be alright.
Please cheer me up a bit.

Anyone else get fed up of having endless one sided conversations?
