[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 377435, member: 1169"] Klmno--- EXACTLY!!!! husband just told me to be nicer to her cause he feels she is trying and yelling at her is just going to cause her to tune me out. I pointed out to him that at the end of her long, drawn out homework sessions, we end up with A+ quality work. It is a combination of her inherent laziness and her desire to drive me nuts (so I give up and let her do the bare minimum to get by) that are the main factors. Her ADD is definitely a contributing factor but not really the main one right now. Right now, she had no social life. She goes to school, come home and works on homework, goes to practice, does more homework. Repeat. She got away with not doing homework until this afternoon because she would just convince husband that she either had no homework or that whatever garbage she scribbled down was good enough. I went out with my mom and sister for a nice day and I was not canceling my fun for her misbehavior. She didn't get to go anywhere but she didn't do anything either. She is going to spend another 30 minutes working tonight. Then, she is getting up early tomorrow and except for a 2 hour practice, she will be sitting and working. Monday, again all day work with a small break for family bbq. This is going to be a very long year if she doesn't get it in gear. [/QUOTE]
