[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 584308, member: 6546"] Ah - gotcha....yes, that DOES make a difference. Sometimes, I think our difficult children pick and choose what they want to hear - or sometimes they decide to interpret what we say in a way that makes it optional. It IS infuriating. As you probably know, our decision over here has been to tell our difficult child that she must move out this summer - ready or not! This decision was based largely on the fact that *I* cannot take it any more. Mostly, I just grit my teeth and put up with all the day-to-day bs because I know there is an end in sight. But still, the constant disregard for other people's time, effort, money, property, privacy, rest, etc - it just goes on and on and on!...and it is definitely wearing on the nerves. I don't know if there IS a way to fix it - or explain it - or demonstrate it....I just think their brains are not wired to think about others. It's all ME, ME, ME, ME, ME! Want to hear a funny? difficult child knows it will be cheaper to live with a room-mate....and she wants the savings, but not the hassle. She wrote up a "roomate agreement" for potential house-mates that would put Sheldon Cooper's (from Big Bang Theory) to shame! Among the rules - roomates are not allowed to have any guests and must be content with the portion of the apartment that difficult child allots them....which means the room-mate does not even get a whole bedroom to themselves! Yeah...good luck with that. LOL! [/QUOTE]
