[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 37086, member: 59"] We use to fight with difficult child all the time about bathing and brushing her teet. She never took an interest in that and she paid for it when kids in elementary school made fun of her for having greasy hair. We stopped fighting, it wasn't a Basket A item or even Basket B since we were dealing with much more serious problems. She's finally taken an interest in how she looks and would never go to school with greasy hair now. Too little too late. I took her to the dentist Monday and she has 10 [img]:slap:[/img] cavities and 8 more that will turn into cavities shortly unless she takes preventative care. So next Monday she gets the first of the cavities filled and I get told the treatment plan and payment arrangements since this will cost thousands [img]:nonono:[/img]. I told the dentist to fill the worst ones first and make sure the shots of novacaine hurt [img]:rofl:[/img]. I don't have much sympathy since she was told a year ago she had 8 teeth that were in danger of developing cavaties unless she used this special toothpast and flossed every day and stopped eating sweets. She didn't, just another example of her living in the moment and not thinking about tomorrow. So the 8 turned into 10 and 8 more began. Nancy [/QUOTE]
