[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 250984, member: 6546"] You know, when I was a kid....we all had to tiptoe around my alcoholic father--and so there were so many times that I went without showering. Running the risk of "bothering" him by using the shower just was not worth it. And of course, I smelled and was teased mercilessly at school. It was really horrible. And so I have taken great pains to ensure that my kids have plenty of "free time" to shower. Any time from the moment they get off the school bus up until a few minutes before bedtime...you want to shower? The bathroom is all yours. So this problem makes me particularly crazy.... I want to say to difficult child "[I]Do you know what it's like to try and have to SNEAK a shower sometime when your Dad is not around? Do you know how bad it is to have to wait and wait and wait for the opportunity to bathe[/I]?" But of course, she would have no real appreciation for my experience....and is quite content to sit in her own filth. Makes me crazy!!!! --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
