[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 38043, member: 2894"] I'm not in your house, so I don't know, but READING it sounds like it's totally the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) talking and laughing. If you "hate" being the inflexible authoritarian drill sargent, then don't be. Prioritize what is truly important to work on and work on it. We can't teach our difficult children every lesson every day...it's not possible for them and it's certainly not possible for us either. Pick a couple of things that are vitally important, put them at the top of your list, and make those the priority...everything else falls the by the wayside. The other things don't become a battle. If the other things aren't a battle, you're not "letting the kids win"...because there was no battle to win to begin with....you're simply not bringing up your concerns at that time...you can work on them later when they make their way up the priority chain. Give yourself a big hug. You're not a joke. You're a warrior mom. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
