[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 544767"] It's too bad you're so reliant on your mom for transportation. My mom was a LOT like that with me and defraded difficult child 1 in front of him. I stopped talking to her for several months. I only started minimal contact with her when difficult child 1 ended up in the psychiatric hospital and she realized there really was something wrong and it wasn't just me being a bad parent. Ever since then, she has not said one word like she did for soooooo many years about EVERYTHING I did wrong (in HER eyes only). difficult child 2 needs constant reminders to do the shower and acne stuff. I have disconnected all the electonics (his main "thing") until he actually does it many times. He knows I am not joking around and that I will NEVER give in. As for the snacking, I quit buying junk food when difficult child 2 was weighed at 198 lbs at the age of 12 (he's tall so didn't realize he weighed so much). He can't eat it if it's not here and difficult child 1 and I don't need the junk either so it was a healthy thing for all 3 of us. Some people on here have put junk food in one particular cupboard and put locks on it. It sounds like it has worked for many of them. {{{{HUGS}}}} to you. I know what it's like to have a child that could care less about their looks and a mother that thinks she needs to parent her grandkids and emotionally beat on the REAL parent. [/QUOTE]
