[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 105637, member: 1967"] Your difficult child sounds so much like mine. She would (and does) stay up all night and then sleeps all day. It has been a problem for years. Thankfully, now that she has her own place, I don't have to know what her sleeping habits are. My difficult child also gets attached to a job and refuses to leave even when it is not in her best interest to stay. Once she gets comfortable with the job and people on the job, she hangs on to it no matter how many hours they give her. We are trying to get her to give up her pizza delivery job because of the toll it is taking on her car but she "loves" her job and the people that own the pizza restaurant. I understand your feelings on this subject but the problem is that things won't change unless you are willing to set a deadline and follow through. I get the feeling that you are not ready to do that. So, if I'm right, I would let the sleeping issue go but absolutely not tiptoe around your house during reasonable daylight hours. If your normal, everyday activities wake her up ~ problem solved. We found that the only thing that really made things better was when we made difficult child move out and live on her own. She still hits us up for money for bills but we are finally saying no to that, too. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
