[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 551394, member: 3419"] Oh, the drama! I guess the Abilify isn't working ... The only way we got over that was to have difficult child get kicked out of school for too many absences. Then we could wake him up and say, You will be kicked out of this one, too ... which sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. Sometimes he'd yell I DON'T CARE! and on the other hand if he had a girlfriend, he'd leap out of bed. Also, sometimes I could bribe him and say, If you're out the door and in the car in 5 min (never mind he smelled like a toxic waste dump) we can go to Starbucks ... Most of the time, the thing that works is to say, "You only stay home when you're sick. When you're sick, you're too sick to watch TV, play any computer or video games, or talk on the phone." Let that sink in for .02 seconds and they're usually dressed and ready to go. You have to find her trigger. And do it in a calm cool way and be prepared to follow through because there will be a huge backlash. But it's worth it after a few false starts. [/QUOTE]
