[QUOTE="greenstockings, post: 639071, member: 17532"] Well, husband and I had a service project today, so we were out of the house for about five hours. When we got home it was 2pm, and the dishwasher was still full of clean dishes. We went to rest for awhile, and when I got up at 3pm, it had been emptied. That's my difficult child for you....waits until the last minute. I feel he does it deliberately to aggravate us, but of course there is no way to prove that. He has a doctor's appointment. tomorrow. I'm waiting to see if he discusses it with us. I don't think he has any money for the bus. Also, I know his room is a piggish disgrace right now and I'm pretty sure he didn't clean that up yet....but there are still hours left in the day. I don't see why he would bother doing one thing we asked if he's not going to do the other things. Seems like a waste of time. Yes, MWM....my other son pretty much dumped all of us after he got together with his girlfriend. The boys still see each other only because difficult child goes out of his way to go hang out with them every weekend. A group of their friends all get together on Sundays for "movie night." Although that won't be happening much now that difficult child has had the car taken from him. DS19 lives at his girlfriend's house with her parents and grandmother, and they live out in the sticks and it's not on a bus route. I tried very hard not to play favorites when the kids were little, but difficult child was always being "dealt with" and my other son was a sweetie and easy-going. I sometimes think he put pressure on himself to be such a good kid because he saw how much his brother's behavior upset everyone. It was so nice to hear his voice last weekend, even though he was upset and calling me about something difficult child did. I hadn't heard from him since August, and my texts/emails are rarely returned. He dropped several of his friends, too, so I try not to take it so ultra-personally, but I miss him and my mommy heart hurts. His girlfriend's mother and I used to be friends, which makes it a bit harder to take. We had a falling out several months after our kids started dating and don't speak anymore. Our problems had nothing to do with the kids, by the way. [/QUOTE]
