[QUOTE="Fran, post: 294440, member: 3"] Good saturday morning everyone. I have been a sleepyhead lately. husband is such a good sport to let me sleep in on a Saturday. I knew he was a good guy. :couple: Marguerite, I'm excited about difficult child 2 having her dress and final fitting. It's all so exciting and hopeful. New marriages are really signs of hope for the future aren't they? How unfortunate that she can't constructive complain without being ignored. I hope the situation become resolved. Sounds like your husband is a good guy with pitching in. Babbs, what a horrible situation! I can imagine your outrage at being accused of Munchausen. My m i l jokingly made a similar comment about 14yrs ago and our relationship has never been the same. I was crushed. I could only wish it to be true then I would have the problem and not my son. What a horrid thing to say to a struggling parent. I can't imagine the frustration with the courts to not see how hard you have to struggle because ex doesn't do his fair share. Wiped out, have fun. Now for my sweet bit of update about difficult child. He decided to have his car washed! That alone is big since he has to be reminded. He came home and was in his room doing who knows what. Comes down and says "mom, I cleaned my room and need to vacuum". :woohoo::whistle::thumbsup::jumphappy::faint::faint::faint: The cleaning is amazing but to initiate an action that is practical is a hugggggggggggggee step. I'm trying to make too big of a deal to him while giving him positive strokes but I am jumping up and down inside. Another leap forward. I asked why he cleaned. He said his room was a disaster so he put trash in trash can, laundry in hamper, papers and books on desk. He even made his bed. All by himself!!!!!!!! He will be 25 in a few weeks and this is the first time he has initiated cleaning. There is hope. He even knew he needed to vacuum. I didn't think he remembered we had a vacuum. We are building on this and hopefully he will eventually develop a routine for his weekly life skills. Have a great day. [/QUOTE]
