[QUOTE="totoro, post: 229601, member: 3155"] It would be hard enough without the added Matt Carp. Remember this is just another one of your chapters in life, not the best chapter. Tink is so lucky. Maybe not in the Daddy Chapters, but in so many other ways. There would not be so many fricken self help books, so many how to raise a *perfect child* books, or how to be a *perfect Mommy* book... LOL if it was so stinking easy! Add in the one or 12 obstacles you keep getting thrown in your way. The fact that you are still trying is a great sign. I agree, please ask one of the people in your life for a tiny break. Keep working on the little goals with her. It has taken me over 2 years to get K to sit and work on the coloring book that I bought her... Just this past 2 weeks she actually sat and started coloring in it! I am a firm believer in clay! I have tons of the little ones, cheap! All over. We also make it together, and then they have to play with it BY THEMSELVES!!! There are recipes online! You use kool-aid! smells good. You know what I spent 3 hours doing last night? (I really wanted to watch football!) I styled K and N's American Girl's hair... BLEECH! (Thanks Grandma) They got little hair style kits with a book on how to *do hairstyles* So me who is hairstyle challenged! Got to learn how to do a ponytail flip thing, a bunch of twists, tried to french braid! NOPE! Then I had to do K's hair.... I hated it, but the girls loved it and we had fun... I did leave the game on. The deal was though, they had to go after that and play for a 1/2 hour after. They went and colored. This is actually teaching K to play by herself, she has a real hard time being alone. I give her her head phones. She will read or color or play with clay. She cuts and pastes. I have a rule that if they are playing nicely I try to go easy on the mess they make. I help them clean it up after. We will have one good day and then fall back to a bad day... I am very happy School goes back tomorrow!!! There are no easy answers. You are not a bad Mom. I wish we were closer also. The girls would love each other!!! [/QUOTE]
