[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 148086, member: 393"] [COLOR=Teal][B]Sharon, Can we say kt??????? Sounds so very similar. Having said that, I agree with smallworld - get the medications & other therapeutic pieces checked out. In the meantime, you still have to live under the same roof. easy child still needs to follow the rules & make good choices. I'm a big believer in Love & Logic - especially for adopted children. It gives them a sense of responsibility & it also helps with their sense of self. kt knows that if she uses her cell phone when it's not allowed, she loses that phone for a period of time. Period. It doesn't matter why she is using it - it's not kt's job to make her friends feel better. It's kt's job to follow the rules. The same goes for being caught in a lie or not doing homework, chores, etc. Cell phone time & computer time are 2 very big incentives for kt. I can't say what is going on with easy child. I would guess it's the typical teen thing magnified, along with the stress of having a "PITA" little difficult child brother, her beginning the individuation process & trepidation in the process; heck - where does she fit into this world? Top it off with medication tweaks that may be needed & you have ....... heck you have kt on your hands.:rofl: OMG, I pity you. Sweetie, you'll find out what easy child needs with-o losing your mind - difficult child has already done that for you. :bigsmile: I don't mean to sound like this isn't a problem but all of a sudden I have a case of the giggles. Please forgive me. Our children are all incredibly twisted - it's a master plot to drive adoptive parents off the edge & it's working. :stopglass:OMG - it's a plot. All these agencies targeted us - they saw us coming.:itching::highvoltage::stalker: [/B][/COLOR][COLOR=Teal][B]:rofl:[/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
