[QUOTE="nvts, post: 67122, member: 3814"] BBK - Wish I could be there to help with the room. I don't know that I have a lot to offer. It stinks that she's able to hit sore spots with the name calling and hitting you when you're down. We have a nephew who's mom (my sister) is having major neurological problems. Every time she "relapses" for lack of a better term, this kids behavior gets worse and worse and worse. I sat down with him the other day and asked him why and he didn't know. Then I asked him if he was scared (after listing like 8 different possibilities) he got really teary and said "yeah". There's two possibilities: 1. she's manipulating you and just taking advantage of the opportunity 2. her behavior tanked when you got sicker- maybe she's scared that you're never going to get better, (in my nephews words) will die, and then she'll be all alone That being said, I've done the dinner- clean, breakfast-clean, lunch-clean, dinner-clean and finally ended up with a clean room. HOWEVER: once the room was clean, all of his toys were boxed up and in order to get a different toy to play with, he had to return the prior one. It was a "library" system, but it kept the room cleaner. by the way: Didn't you say that she's a little nervous about bugs? I'd tell her she can't have food in her room because it could attract bugs. Even though difficult child 2 isn't scared of them, I'm totally grossed out at the idea of bugs shacking up in a bedroom!! Oh, remind her that school starts in 3 weeks and you don't think the hair is going to grow back in time [img]:grin:[/img] and that cows can't drive to beauty salons to fix it!! [img]:rofl:[/img] Much love & hope for a better night headed your way! Beth [/QUOTE]
