[QUOTE="Fran, post: 115842, member: 3"] meowbunny, I think you are doing a good job. Tossing out the door without trying everything possible to teach them to manage on their own is just not feasible or thinkable for some of our difficult children. Most kids are messy and need time to grow that sort of home care type skills. I know cleaning or picking up was the last thing on my mind at 20 and I was a responsible,working adult. As adults taking care of our home is one of the primary thoughts in our days. We are teaching them and offering choices. This may work. It may not. Your doing your job as you see it. Putting pizza on their bed or their head sounds pretty immature difficult child to me. They aren't the enemy but our beloved child. I'm pretty sure most of us do not have a spotless kitchens. If we leave things out then it's within the realm of normal behavior. Reminding her once then forcing it is a good way to go. in my humble opinion You are a good mom. [/QUOTE]
