[QUOTE="busywend, post: 228687, member: 391"] BBK, everyone's situation is different and this pick your battles means different things to different families. I personally feel like I wish I had spent more time on me through the years. I would work hard on making sure you have some time to yourself. The other things work themselves out. The shower and the dinner issues were big ones here. They still are not exactly as I would have liked them to be. Like so many other things in life it usually does not turn out the way we pictured it. My difficult child at 17 is just now starting to shower and brush her teeth without prompting from me. Not at her father's though. Just my house. Tink is different and you have to be open to non-traditional parenting techniques. No matter what others think about them, sometimes they really are the best for your family. [/QUOTE]
