[QUOTE="Megs87, post: 721846, member: 22386"] I don't know if the way I handled things was the right way; I was pretty hands on and somewhat of a hardass, because her father is pretty much useless and is still being supported by his mother, and I was dead set Miss KT would NOT be a parasite. I definitely held her feet to the fire and pushed for logical consequences (if you hit your friend, they probably won't want to play with you) both at home and at school I completely understand you there as i stress out about this. I am currently as i already mentioned staying with my parents and worry about how it is or will effect them when they are adults. I don't mooch, and make sure i am able to pay for our cost of living and never ask my parents for any money. I think i am hardest on myself for not being on my own at age 30 like i should be. She sounds very much like my darling daughter. The phone calls from school started in first grade. We struggled through, with her having difficulty in keeping friends, till high school. Then the friends she found were kinda slimy, bringing an entirely new set of issues, and affecting my career plans to this day. Yesss!!!! Though she isnt in high school yet, she has some friends that add so much fuel to the fire. She has more toys than some of them and its obvious to an adult that some friends are using her to play with some of her things. So they come to play, knowing how she is, and are constantly tattling on her. I have forgotten how mean kids can be and shocked at how much meaner they have gotten. (My children included) I got her in karate at 6, to help with discipline and personal responsibility. She stayed with it long enough to earn a black belt, and then quit right before her freshman year to participate in marching band. I kept her busy, I know, and at the time, she kept throwing it in my face that I MADE her do this or that, but I held on by my fingernails and we did make it through. I do keep her/them busy as much as i can. At the moment we are not doing any activities that cost, but we are always doing something or going places. Especially when they are on break from school. It backfires on me though. When it comes time to settle in from the breaks she is miserable. Their brains dont cope well with boredom now. They think i should keep them entertained 24/7. This is where i hangon by fingernails. Lol Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I hope you all know the hope you are giving to me. [/QUOTE]
