[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 378687, member: 1631"] Thought I'd post so I don't end up yelling:angry-very: She does very little around the house to help-is very passive aggressive (in my mind). She just won't respond or will disappear when we've asked her to do something. This morning I told her she needed to clean the kitchen (which is mostly dishes but a bit of picking up). I told her I was mowing the lawn and going to the grocery store. husband was taking difficult child to a movie to get him out of the house. She complained she couldn't because she was going to clean her room. Mind you she slept until who knows what time? Then she was watching t.v. while we did all of our work (never did work in her room). I told her she was still expected to do the dishes. After dinner I told her enough delaying. All of a sudden she needed to use the bathroom which is a huge avoidance thing on her part. husband and I told her every time we give her work to do she either has to use the bathroom, has a stomachache, or a headache. Now she is literally standing in the kitchen screaming at intervals about how stupid I am for having her do the dishes. Then she screeches that her medications must not be right. She has one excuse after another. Poor husband has had it with her screaming and is about to do the dishes for her 'cause he can't stand listening to her. I hope he doesn't but I did tell her if husband does them she is going to have a consequence. Problem is with her, she doesn't seem to mind any consequences. Drives me nuts. When I asked her to stop screaming she said she can't because she is angry. I told her I was angry she wasn't doing the dishes but I wasn't screaming about it. Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Thanks for listening to me scream here.) [/QUOTE]
