[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 52155, member: 2287"] Linda, you're not rambling. MOST of us "ramble", but it's getting our feelings out, I guess. difficult child is going to Extended School Year for social development this summer. The bus picks him up at 8:00 AM and returns at Noon. This morning he trashed the bathroom after his shower and his room is a disgrace. After he dressed he was watching television. I politely told him, "IF you can't do nice things for me (helping clean up HIS messes), then I won't have time to do nice things for you (going to the pool most every day)!" Obviously, it didn't make a dent. SO, I intend on cleaning up MY house and he can SIT all afternoon or two or three. Linda, he's almost twelve and I wonder when or if he's ever going to grow up just a little. husband almost came unglued when he saw the table. We bought most of our furniture before difficult child was born, but it's very nice furniture and what does one do, not sit on the furniture or not ever recarpet the house, or live in filth...because of a difficult child? It's so exhausting.....I'm afraid "nature" is going to win out over "nuture", but no one could appreciate that more than you. [/QUOTE]
