[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 427160, member: 393"] husband & I spent many many hours finding our way to the same page with tweedles dee & dum. It's a difficult place & not at all unusual for mum to be left holding the bag ~ I know, preaching to the choir. With my darlin ktbug, she doesn't get to have a boyfriend or calls from anyone not on my approved list at any time. Mostly because of her skewed thinking but also because she needs to pitch in a lot more around here. DF, our girls keep talking about how grown up they are; the actions don't fit the words. I hated being the one to shoulder most of the new "initiatives". I prepped myself & kt or wm before dinner was over. Reminded whose turn it was to do dishes; stayed in the kitchen & gave a helping hand when necessary. It took a bit of time yet my twins can clean the kitchen. It will never be to my standards unless I stay in the kitchen with kt. Long story short, do not implement one iota of the plan until husband is on the same page & will back you or you are able to tag off to him. You & husband may have to spend a couple of weeks working on that. If that doesn't happen, young difficult child will start triangulating the entire situation. My Ally will hear one story, husband will hear another & you will hear something totally different from the first 2 stories. [/QUOTE]
