[QUOTE="ksm, post: 486785, member: 12511"] I truly believe that is my difficult child's main problem. Of course, the doctor's never diagnosed her as such, but my son met her bio mom when she was probably 3 months pregnant and was drinking 5 to 10 drinks a day. She says she didn't know she was pregnant - but I believed she did, but just didn't admit it until it became obvious. It is such a struggle - some days I can hardly stand to be around her. She is good at making excuses and will not try things we suggest to make things easier - like a list of assignments kept where she can double check. I got a call yesterday from her social studies teacher regarding her missing book... turns out it has been left in literature class and that teacher has been asking her for two weeks to take it with her. She finally got it when I threatened to take her to the bank and withdrawal money from her savings to pay for a new one. Reading that article really sounded as if it was written by my difficult child... if she had the insight to see herself as everyone else does... which she doesn't. Like this morning, we have listened to her sing for the last 30 minutes... but when little sis started singing - it took 15 seconds for her to tell her how irritating her singing is. KSM [/QUOTE]
