[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 208473, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Sweetie, You have an adolscent on your hands ~ typical selfish, it's all about me drama queen type of stuff. I agree with whoever said that the more you do, the more Wynter feeds into it. It almost seems to be a competition on who's more tired. Wynter will never understand the level of pain/exhaustion you are feeling. She just knows that your condition takes attention away from her. Which puts her emotionally a bit under her physcial age. She's trying to compete with your condition. AND she ain't winning! Saying that, instead of the daily arguments that had been going on here kt has a list of chores that she needs to complete before the end of the day on her dry erase board on the fridge. Some days there's very little; other days she has quite the list including making dinner. The big thing is that kt & I sit down each evening & make out the list for the next day based on what needs to be done & when it needs to be done. kt often needs an adult next to her to help her stay on task & keep the "momentum" going & I can do that. We frequently chat (I'm half asleep most of the time ) while kt is doing this or that. But AND she is pitching it. AND she get recognized for it big time. kt is more fearful of my condition than she lets on ~ I would guess that Wynter is as well. If I'm sick, Mom will get better & take care of me. It's a pretty slick fantasy. Selfish or fearful doesn't matter. It's the same result, the same behavior. Your response isn't working - time to try something new. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
