[QUOTE="ksm, post: 485090, member: 12511"] Yes, I am blessed that so far I have a very understanding eleven year old. She is going to get her own bedroom when DFES leaves. Not because difficult child deserves a room to herself, but that easy child deserves one for putting up with more than most people ever would. Of course, difficult child will think, "Finally, I got my own room" Just sad because it won't be because she is maturing and deserves it too. It will be because no one can put up with her. We will have to leave her upstairs in the bedroom next to us so we can hear her if she tries to sneak out. easy child will be moved to the main floor bedroom as she is more trustworthy and won't get up and get on computer during the night or watch movies she shouldn't be watching. Last night difficult child yelled and cried because easy child was in bed and wouldn't get up and turn off the overhead light. The light switch in on the wall, that difficult child's bed is up against. It is literally inches away when she raises her arm. She carried on for 30 minutes because she always has to turn off the light. But, it wasn't fair, because she "always" has to turn off the light at night. She even made a contract a few days ago and had easy child sign, that if her bed was ever on that wall, she would have to turn off the light. And she carries on every morning if easy child turns on the over head lightto get ready for school because it "hurts my eyes in the morning". It is over and above normal sibling rivalry. I just wish the therapist can get thru to her and help things change for the better. KSM [/QUOTE]
