[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 148549, member: 1991"] Mandcc96, welcome. You need help with her. I do understand the problem of not being able to leave your child with someone else - it does make it even more difficult, when it comes to expenses. Stick around here, you will get ideas and support within your price range! If you've been lurking here at all, you will see that we often recommend a book, "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene, among other really good books. I strongly urge you to find a copy (local library is a good start) and maybe read up on it (Early Childhood forum has some discussion on it, although the book applies across the age groups). Your difficult child needs help. Your easy child does too, in a different way. So do you and your husband. The book might help, at least in terms of being able to negotiate with difficult child to comply. You should have a lot of leverage with her - after all, you feed her, you clothe her, you educate her - and in there she undoubtedly gets a lot more than bare subsistence. Another strong suggestion - please try and do a sig, so it can appear after your post. It saves you having to rewrite all the relevant details in each post; all we have to do is check below and refresh our memories on your own situation. You put in it as much or as little as you feel comfortable with (although not too much, the site sets strict limits). Marykay, welcome to the site also. Your problem is somewhat different and warrants individual attention from people - how about you begin your own thread about your son and your concerns for him? That way you are likely to get more help directed purely towards you. In this thread, it's likely to get overlooked as we try to help Mandcc96 with her daughter's problems. If you post over in Parent Emeritus, you will be drawing the attention of parents with offspring about the same age as yours, hopefully they will be better equipped and experienced to help you.
