[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 570631, member: 84"] Crazymama I'm afraid to jinx things. (you know the whole board curse thing) But so far, it certainly seems Katie is trying hard. I do see progress, much progress. I see tons with the grands.......as in listening to her, having good manners, you can see them (especially the boys) stopping and thinking about if their behavior is appropriate, when corrected they stop whatever it is instead of either being oblivious or going over the deep end. The way it was a year ago with the kids, this alone is a monumental change. They are even very helpful to her. With Katie, she seems to be putting both feet forward into being an active participant in the family and behaving as an adult is expected to behave. The change I've seen so far is just.......well, I'm not sure there are words. She went from behaving like a 14 yr old whiny victim who expected to be treated like a child to a firm parent behaving like an adult. I've not heard that whine, that literally is like fingernails down a chalkboard to me, since we started talking to her again. I have no clue what brought about these changes. All I care is that she is actively [B]trying[/B], which is a really big deal for her. I hope it's a change that sticks for her and her kids sake. [/QUOTE]
