[QUOTE="Dixies_fire, post: 595171, member: 16184"] What would of happened if she wore the tap shoes probably nothing but her getting picked on because they are broken and have tape on them. Soft ball initially was just a family activity which she asked for more of but she's actually really good at it. She asks to help cook and if she isn't being cruel to others I let her, I don't even get upset with her when she drifts in and out of the kitchen while we are cooking. The crafting is totally her and what she wants to do I just put a little structure in it so my house doesn't get destroyed. We spent time picking out her outfit for field day so she could wear her tye dyed shirt we made for Mother's Day. If her room looks good I tell her so. When she does a good job on anything I tell her. I try to cut her some slack for tk behavior but she isn't going to hurt people and she isn't going to treat people like ****, adults or children if I can help it. I'm trying to teach her how to be an adult and how to make friends I firmly believe if I let her scream at people all her life an then se wonders why she can't keep a job or make friends she would be right if she said it was my fault. While my kid may not be neurotypical she is high functioning and I fully expect her to one day move out have a job have a house maybe get married have kids. There are many children here on this board who may not have that future ahead of them and I can understand why you may treat your difficult child a certain way just to make it through the day. And I'm all for that, sometimes this mom thing is hard and corners must be cut to preserve your sanity and I'm trying to integrate that into my life. But I want her to have successful relationships. I really want that for her. It hurts to see her isolated, it hurts me to not know how to deal with someone who doesn't have a clue most days on how to be a pleasant human being except for when she is completely ignoring all the humans in the room.
