I hope we can go thru the weekend with out any major melt downs. I believe our difficult child has had one each day this week. At least she is consistent, huh? The major thing is - she wants short shorts... and I refuse to buy them. They don't pass school dress code - and I think it looks sleazy on a 13 year old girl.
Somedays I feel so beaten down I just hide in my room to avoid further confrontations. I feel like I am being held hostage in my own home. Advice would be fine, but mainly I am just venting. I am just so tired of it. Other meltdowns are about how her sister is wearing something she thought she wanted to wear (they are same size); she can't eat the food I prepare; people are looking at her; and that we hate her; she hates herself; she gets dizzy if she gets out of bed too fast (and she had to get up early two days this week); her sister's singing gives her a headache; the computer is too slow and she should have her own laptop; she wants a new ipod, even though she lost her last one; etc. she has an excuse for EVERYTHING!
