[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 145086, member: 3930"] The room situation sounds like mine when I was her age. My mom used to gather up all the clothes and junk and put it in a pile in the middle of the room and tell me to clean it up. We also had to do our own laundry and had an assigned laundry day - so it was to our advantage not to throw our clothes all over the place. If we didn't get our laundry done on the assigned day - too bad, we had to wait until the next week. At that age, I didn't want to wear dirty clothes. I was also that way about the grades - any effort I put forth meant good grades, but I didn't want to put forth the effort. I'm not sure why - and it really started for me when I entered Jr High. I would think/hope allowing her to join cheer will be the incentive she needs to get good grades. Now if she doesn't make the squad - what then? Hang in there. I know what you mean about the time needed to deal with a difficult child. I often feel like I am neglecting the other one and it's not fair, it just is. Some special one on one time might be what she needs. Good luck - you're doing great. [/QUOTE]
