[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 236678, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]I remember those days ~ kt is 14 & she's still home (refusing school) and in my face non stop. Saying that, after 4 years of "antics" wm is in a group foster home & kt is at home. The tweedles had a very troubled life in bio home before we adopted them. I can offer a few things; as kt is at home non stop she has chores that must be accomplished each day. Plus she must read 1 hour daily, do art work (her favorite class) at least one hour a day (we sit down together) & work on math. I don't know how old your twins are but kt is 14. When the tweedles were younger I had to have a stringent routine around here. I had little time to myself, but instead of non stop chaos with a routine I kept the peace at least 50% of the time. If your difficult child girl needs to be at home can she do chores at your side? Teach her to scrub the sink while you clean the toilet. Or vice versa. Dishes - rinse dishes while you teach her to load. Do your best to make this time nurturing & pleasant if at all possible. I know this can be a stretch ~ believe me I know. You can ask any of the board members who've known me & the tweedles over the years. It could be time to ask for more help. I have PCAs, Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) workers plus respite for kt. It's a must to maintain my health & my stamina. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
