[QUOTE="busywend, post: 425230, member: 391"] I am looking into how to change your screen name. I have never actually done it and I can not seem to figure it out either. I had to let go of the cleanliness thing too. It was around your difficult children age, too. It became such an awful battle, that I figured if she stunk maybe someone at school would tell her. Wouldn't you know it somehow, someway my difficult child never stunk. It was like she had a built in deodorant! LOL! Her clothes eventually got a bit funky (she refused to pick them up or bring to laundry room). I eventually just did whatever I could to stop the battles - and that meant not fighting her to shower or brush her teeth. Oh well - she does it now! It was a bunch of worry for nothing. We got through it just fine. There are a few BIG regrets I have. One is I grounded her and the punishment was taking away Trick or Treating (not sure you have this in Scotland) October 31st knock on neighbors doors in costume and get a piece of candy. The other event I regret is cancelling a birthday party of hers. She did not learn from either punishment, but they both stick with her to this day. She does not try to make me feel bad about it, but they certainly are in her memory. But, it never improved her behavior. So - for goodness sake - take your little love to get some candy after school one day. Just say you really wanted to see her smile and thought maybe the candy would do the trick. You tried to see the smile every day - but maybe she is just not capable. It could even be a time of day thing. It might just not be possible for her to be happy leaving school for whatever reason. But, you can not limit her life and your joy all the time. It isn't getting you anywhere anyway. Stop at that candy shop tomorrow!!! I order you! LOL! :bigsmile: [/QUOTE]
