[QUOTE="LitlPixy, post: 96790, member: 4246"] Ugh! difficult child informed me tonight that I have no business intruding in her school life. I'm supposed to allow her to make all the choices! Tomorrow is her first day BACK to school, after two weeks at SRC (a step before being sent to Alternative School). She was sent there for being very disrespectful and refusing to do her work at school, not to mention disrupting class. Did I mention this is her second go around in 7th grade? How dare I tell her that I won't allow any "missing work". How can I expect that? I know she's trying her best. I should just trust her that she has all under control (because she does) and not only that.... it's her choices that matter because it's HER life, not mine. It's her life, how DARE I tell her what to do. And what's this about me wanting to meet friends' parents and wanting to know exactly where she is all the time? How dare I get on the phone and remind her that her time is up!!!! "Mom, that's why I don't tell you anything...because you always try to control me." "I don't like talking to you" "That relationship you want for us, not happening, because I don't like you" blah, blah, blah, blah.... She absolutely refuses to take her medicine. We have both Adderall AND Vyvanase to choose from (not taken together, of course). She doesn't like either one. Makes her focus too much at school on her work....doesn't leave enough for her friends. The other day I sat and watched her take her medications. Checked her mouth, hands, etc...still she says she didn't take it but threw it in the trash. I was surprised by my reaction to her tonight. She kept telling me to chill out....but I never raised my voice or got excited. I was even and calm. (this was before the glass of Moscato). I kept reminding her that she was the one who needed to calm down. "oh so now you're the perfect mom, huh?" UGHHHHHH!!!!! Who was it that wanted to pop heads off? LOL [/QUOTE]
