[QUOTE="JKF, post: 605090, member: 12470"] Why is it that difficult child's just CAN'T (or maybe it's more like WON'T) follow rules?? As some of you know my difficult child has been in a motel placement since the end of June. The psychiatrist deemed him shelter inappropriate meaning that his mental illness makes it extremely hard for him to live with others so social services is looking for a rooming house for him but he's in the motel in the meantime. If he lasts there. They have minimal rules. And I mean minimal. No overnight guests, keep your room clean, and be back in the room by 1 am. Seems simple right? Well not so simple for difficult child. The biggest problem is that his room is disgusting. Food containers, wrappers, dirty clothes everywhere! It's completely filthy. I refuse to even set foot near the door. OMG I'm having a panic attack just thinking about that level of filth. Anyway when I dropped food off for difficult child earlier the motel manager came up to me and said that its so bad in there that if difficult child doesn't clean it the health department will be called and difficult child will be asked to leave. He said all of this in front of difficult child. difficult child started to argue saying it was clean etc. I said ok I'm coming in to look then. At that point difficult child started cursing and saying they were picking on him and went in and slammed the door. He wouldn't let me look at the room. So instead of keeping his room clean he's risking being homeless again bc it's "not fair" that he has to follow rules and clean his room. If he gets kicked out social services will be completely done with him and he'll be on the streets again. Ughhhhhhhhh!! I want to scream! I'm so frustrated and simply disgusted right now. [/QUOTE]
