do I have to be the mom?
Yet another day trashing everything in difficult child's room. It's like a quarterly thing around here for years. She's taken more money from my purse and stolen all the change husband has from his (deceased) bro. Plus some other stuff.
It's been a very tough day and I hate having to do this to difficult child. I'm sure husband is black and blue from the thrashing he took when we first started. I had the job of bear hugging her until she stopped thrashing/kicking/biting. We stripped the room down to bed and dresser. Since all the stuffed animals and other toys were ripped and broken, just everything was trashed. We'll give her back the tv/directv and other stuff as she earns it.
Never did find my $$. It's been 3 hours and she's finally calmed down enough to help out a bit. She always feels so bad after an episode. And I guess I now have about a year's worth of laundry to do since all her stuff is shoved under the bed, behind the dresser, in toy boxes etc.
In a way I'm so tired of locking things up or hiding them. we have a safe for her medications and other small things and now we're going to get a new lock for our bedroom door and put stuff in there that we don't want her to touch. It's not a large room and I'm not looking forward to having more stuff in my room that isn't necessary.
guess I just need some hugs today...............
