[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 368586, member: 2211"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=darkslateblue]I can relate to everything you said. The part that really stuck out for me was in regards to the non-bathing issue. Seems to be a common trait with these kids. My difficult child will be 21 in October and she STILL doesn't remember to brush her teeth - for DAYS!
