Yep, he's figured it out. He's decided if he just doesn't eat, then he doesn't have to poop. He will eat no breakfast, only has a bottle of water at lunch, then eats a reasonable dinner because he has time to poop and get rid of it before morning when he does it all again. Can you believe it? How does one make a 14 year old difficult child eat, especially when he knows it makes him poop and he's embarrassed? This child is nearly impossible to raise.
When you add this event along with his HORRIBLE ATTITUDE......I want to throw in the towel! This is the last three days of intermediate school. difficult child wants to walk home from school, so we've been letting him. He's an "outside" person to say the least, so even though it's three miles, we decided okay. Yesterday, it took him almost an hour and a half. Suuuuuure. SO today it was storming terribly and h decided to go pick him up when the bell rang so he didn't get struck by lightning. He didn't want to get into the car!!! He threw his backpack into the car and told h he was going to walk. Ok, well that turned into another fight. *Sigh*....this is soooo exhausting. difficult child never has a civil word to say to either h or myself......never.
