[QUOTE="navineja, post: 161485, member: 4278"] Ktmom- thanks for the advice and hugs. Much appreciated. Star- I do try to stick to a schedule as much as possible. I know that often that makes a world of difference. But since N has a twin sister, I can't just eliminate the activities, since of course that would be unfair to J. Today for example, I still took the girls to the park and to the pool, but N was told that she needed to finish her sentences and then she was welcome to join the fun. Instead she chose to people watch for most of the time. Then on the way home (after reminders that she needed to finish to be able to go to her class tonight), she said that she wasn't going to do them. Currently she is sitting at the table refusing to do anything. She knows exactly what is going to happen and that she will miss out tonight and keep on missing out until she finishes and just doesn't seem to care. Until she actually misses out and then it is a disaster. I am just so frustrated. I want her to have fun and try to help her, but she insists that she will do it her way, making us all miserable in the process, herself included. Can I just run away screaming now?? PLEASE??? But seriously, I do like the idea of a schedule in writing that she can see. I think that I will do that right now. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
