[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 223477"] I've had a *really* hard time letting go of my laundry folding issues. The kids don't fold at all like I do. I have to take a deep breath and bite my tongue and just be thankful they're doing it. And, yes, the towels should be folded a certain way so that you unfold it once and it's still folded to hang over the towel rack when you need - with the corners evenly matched up, of course. I have not, however, turned over sock matching to the kids. That would throw me completely over the edge. :rofl: difficult child will NOT let go of anything. I think the word I've seen used here is perseverate, but I'm not exactly sure what that means. She just goes on and on and on. Days, weeks, months later it will still be going. She has to have complete quiet - I mean complete quiet - when working or she can't work. She can't tune out the other noise. She had trouble in school because a classmate would tap his pencil and she couldn't do her work. She doesn't do transition well - from one task to another. She often starts a task very frustrated and ends up calming down by about the middle way through. She wants me to fix things that can't possibly be fixed: her foot itching, the heat in her room, a tv program that has been cancelled. She gets an idea in her head about something and you cannot change it. She doesn't get sarcasm most of the time, but is better than she used to be. I have to be overly expressive when using sarcasm so that she would get it. I'll think of more tomorrow when my sleep medications have worn off. [/QUOTE]
