[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 581261, member: 3930"] I agree I do need to give up the control and not worry if he wants to leave the house with messed up hair and bad breath. He is a great looking kid and he already has enough problems, I thought I was helping him by making sure he looks/smells good. Re: homework - he CAN do it. He is super smart. He doesn't want to do it - and/or he cannot sustain the mental effort needed to get it done. I do not want to give him more medications just so he can get thru homework. It is agonizing for him just to have to go to school for 6 hours per day. He shuts down at homework time. Yes, it is the xbox or computer that he is using when he tells me "just a minute". I know I need to cut that WAY BACK. It's the only thing he likes. I don't let him play the violent games (anymore) as I agree it is not one bit good for difficult child's. He either plays Minecraft or uses the computer. Mostly the computer - like I said learning things about programming, websites, html, visual basic, etc. I agree we should find one thing he can really excel at. He hasn't ever really worked hard to succeed at anything and then felt proud of himself. I wish we had technology clubs or something like that. I just keep wishing for the day he stops being difficult and does what I tell him the first time I tell him. (holding breath) [/QUOTE]
