[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 271761, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]an I'm a tad frustrated at her. I asked staff at Residential Treatment Center (RTC) to remind kt of the rules in my home ~ they went over them one by one. I also asked Residential Treatment Center (RTC) staff to remind kt that I needed help with a few things as furniture is being delivered tomorrow. As kt enters the door the phone rings ~ yup one of her BFFs calling ~ how did she time this? Then the cell phone pops on & she's checking voice mail & such. As she refused to bring the laptop back downstairs, I shut down her internet access from my machine. As I was cooking dinner kt came downstairs ~ asked to help & her phone rang. I bit my tongue, got dinner on the table & we had yet another discussion about the rules in my home. They are not unreasonable. AND I really need her to put the phone down & help clear out the area in my bedroom & in the living room. Three hours max of work & she can go play to her heart's content. She finally lifted her Residential Treatment Center (RTC) butt off the chair to help after my friend that I used to work with showed up to give me & kt a hand with some heavy stuff - carry it out to the dumpster. With all the time & energy put into my ktbug; all the funding & such there are few rules that are non negoitable. Computer time in the kitchen or living room; anyplace adults are available. AND cell phone off when I ask & brought down to me each evening by 8 pm. Saying that, she is trying. Working her treatment. I know the freedom of an overnight can be over stimulating. However, I have an axe hanging over my neck; the county is watching the situation here closely (due to my ongoing health issues & kt's escalating emotions & such since husband died). psychiatrist has already discussed with me putting kt into foster care. I just cannot do this again. It's too much. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
