[QUOTE="sweetiegirlz, post: 92047, member: 4140"] I suppose that I could sleep from 9am to 3pm only. I guess I could handle that amount of sleep. then that would only leave the weekends for me to have someone supervise them. I guess I could do that. If I was married in a family situation, I believe I would have a little more choices to pick from. Getting another job is out of the question.I'm a single parent who is struggling without a car. I walk to work. We are surviving on my paycheck which pays significantly higher than anywhere else I applied would and has benefits. Night shift was the only avail. open. That may or may not change in the future. I am not sure what to do if I can't ground difficult child?? I know I have taken away a lot and it doesn't phase her. No music, no computer, no t.v. If I make her write sentences or essays, she just refuses to do it. If I give her extra chores she just refuses to to do them. All of the other 3 kids responded to everything I ever laid down for them as consequence. I know she is probably really emotionally younger, but I'm not sure how to approach that discipline wise. I've never had to deal with this kind of rebellion and raging that she's been doing. [/QUOTE]
