This afternoon our family went out for Sunday lunch at a restaurant near church.  It wasn't too busy...which was nice.

We were seated without a wait and ordered our food.

At that time both boys got up to use the restroom.  Middle Boy came back within five minutes.

Younger Boy did not return to the table until we have received our food and Middle Boy and I were FINISHED eating.

At one point Middle Boy was going to go and check on him, but his therapist has asked him to focus on being more aware of the time it is taking him to do things.

THIRTY FOUR MINUTES.  That is how long he was in the restroom

When he came out and I asked what he had been doing he said "using the restroom".  I told him we didn't have time to wait for him to eat and we would take his food to go and he could eat in the car.

This made him angry.

It is becoming a regular occurrence, but it isn't like I can prevent him from going in the restroom.
