[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 37029, member: 393"] Sounds like you have a real power struggle going on with difficult child. Definitely apologize for swearing; losing your temper is a pretty normal happening - difficult child or easy child. I'd make the apology short & sweet & let it drop. No further discussion on that topic. Having said that, is there anything that you & difficult child can do together with-o arguing. Is difficult child feeling a part of the family (I'm not implying that you aren't including her). She's walked into your family at a very fragile age with all those raging hormones plus her GFGness. Will difficult child take charge of making dinner one night? Something to help her feel an integral member of the family. I know you have concerns over her being alone with your little ones, but will she watch them on the swing set or in the sandbox (with you nearby watching)? Again, to make her a part of the family & not a pariah; her very illnesses & coming so late into the family must be terrifying to her as well. Just something to consider. [/QUOTE]
