[QUOTE="daralex, post: 120808, member: 4467"] My difficult child was also very "needy" but now that we are in the years of teen hell it is amost the opposite. When she was little and went to sleep she ijnsisted I check on her 10 times (yes, she would count each time I came in!) now she hardly says goodnight but is hurt and upset if I don't attempt to go into her room and say goodnight. I wish I had more to suggest, but I can say one thing - we don't have to like them all the time or even most of the time, but we do love them. That's why we do what we do. As far as the food - Is she just hyped up on eating snack food or is it all food? My "little" one stands at 5'11" at age 13! Her bio dad weighed 400 lbs at time of death and older brother weighed 750 (NO, NOT a typo!) I always had to give her fat free, low fat stuff and use ground turkey instead of burger. But, even with that I had to place limits on portions otherwise she would eat a box of cereal in one sitting. It's very drainng having to be "needed" ALL the time, hopefully it will lessen as she gets older and realizes you are always going to be there for her. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful! -Dara [/QUOTE]
