[QUOTE=", post: 4396"] Dee, Thank you so much for the post. It was long and I printed so that I could reread this. But I have a question.... I'm home full-time with my difficult child and what do I do when he doesn't do the things that I have asked him to do? Like get dressed? Eat properly? husband will be furious if I have difficult child call him every time there is a question.... I have to have this boy mind me. If I disengage, then he'll just run wild. Then, the neighbourhood will be terrorized. What do I do? This sounds WONDERFUL to me. I think that I will use it with my 16 year old SD, too. I want to use this but unsure how the day will work with dad full-time working and me staying at home with the little difficult child. Let me know, and thanks again for all of the insight. ------------------ Going crazy as the stepmother of a 7 yr old, ADHD, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), ODD Mother of 11 yr old son (easy child) Mother 6 yr old daughter (easy child) Stepmother to 15 yr old daughter (easy child) difficult child is 20 mg Prozac, 20 mg Adderall Me: Not taking any medications anymore; gained 20+ pounds and that makes me more depressed than difficult child does [/QUOTE]
