[QUOTE="ksm, post: 748796, member: 12511"] My older adopted DGD corrects me all the time. Luckily, we don't spend much time together, even though technically she is living here. In the last 9 days she has stopped by twice, once for 5 minutes to grab clothes, and one long enough to shower and grab clothes. I remember when she was in first or second grade. When I picked her up after school, the teacher was exasperated. She told me that J had been running around her desk off and on all day, J flatly denied it. I tried to explain that her teacher wouldn't lie. She still denied running around her desk. Then I asked, "we're you walking around your desk?" Nope. Were you jumping around your desk? Nope. Were you skipping around your desk? Nope. Were you dancing around your desk? Yep! Jump ahead 15 years. Same bs. I might say... It's been a week and you haven't applied for one job. "It's not been a week, it's only been five days! Sigh. And when I ask her to stop... Or I tell her I'm done and I'm leaving now... Then I get, "you are rude!" Or, you never listen to me! Yes, I listened, you said: xyz. And the answer is still no. "But, you won't let me explain xyz". you already have...and it's still a no. Endless circle. I know her brain gets fixated and she has a hard time moving on. I feel your pain. Also correcting me on mispronouncing a word. Last week I asked about her friend "Mike". Immediately, "I don't have a friend named Mike. I have a friend named Michael!" I have a tough time wanting to spend time with her, but she needs a mothers guidance...and I'm all she's got.
