[QUOTE="robinm1922, post: 264152, member: 6423"] Hi, I can feel where you are coming from! I realized early on this school year I was making myself sick with stressing over something I can't control! I have taken the natural consequence approach, I wish I could say I have left the nagging behind but that wouldn't be honest. I really need to stop the nagging it doesn't do anyone any good at all. I guess all I really need to do is stop plain and simple.This thread has been super helpful to get me back on track. I need to reevaluate how I am going about school with my difficult child, it has gotten to the point when I ask a question about school she says that is all I ever talk about. That is what I need to change, maybe someone could invent an off button for me (as long as difficult child doesn't know where to find it). My long winded response to your post is so many of us have been there done that or are in the process, there isn't any right answer just go with what you think you need to do for your situation. Your therapist is not living with you in the evenings, they don't have the same stress that you have daily. It is a matter of picking your battles, if your difficult child fails he fails it is all on him. I know for my difficult child she wants to go to college, I am certainly not going to be going behind her bugging her about homework, she may as well learn how to self motivate now. I wish you luck it is a road with many forks. Robin [/QUOTE]
