[QUOTE="busywend, post: 76822, member: 391"] Sometimes I think it is our expectations that are out of whack. For me, I do not expect my difficult child to attend prom or ball or even possibly graduation. She talks about doing these things. But, I think the chances are lower than the average kid. It is unlikely she will get her permit in a timely fashion as we have put a grade reward on it. I hope she graduates. I would love to hear her name and watch her walk the stage. I do think it is unlikely. I figure she will be a GED person. She just hates school so much. She is already trying to find a different way to get her education. I wish I had a crystal ball for her sake. Will I always wish I could have experienced those things with her? Maybe a little bit. But, it is much more important to me to have her grow up healthy and happy. Hopefully she will be able to be successful in whatever it is she strives for. As long as it is legal and rewarding! LOL!
