[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 212919"] Thank you for the support. The problem is, she's capable. She acts all helpless and is nasty and hateful to me about it, but when I've had enough....let me give an example. Last night after the teacher talked to her (this teacher, by the way, is just beyond wonderful), Wynter signed on to school - under duress, but oh well. She was nasty and hateful, complaining - why do I have to do this? I'm not going to be a scientist - all those stupid teenage remarks about school. Would. not. stop. Then after she managed to get through that assignment without me strangling her, she went on to the next. It was a writing assignment using the spoke method to organize your thoughts. She's done this before - last week - on her own and the teacher commented on how good of a job she did. Now, she can't do it. She doesn't know how, it's stupid, it doesn't make any sense. Yelling at me. Glaring at me. The whole nine yards. And I'd had it. I told her that she could do this - she'd done it before - and she had 2 choices: 1) figure it out or 2) I would be reenrolling her in regular school tomorrow (today). Then I told her I was going to take a shower and walked away to her yelling, "Why do you hate me?!!", which I ignored. When I got out of the shower, she had completed that assignment, turned it in and was working on another. THAT'S the stuff that I can't - won't - deal with. It's not that she can't - it's that she [I]doesn't[/I] [I]want to[/I] and is going to make everyone's life hell in the meantime. [/QUOTE]
