[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 67277, member: 3647"] Okay, not making excuses, just explaining my situation. When I was feeling better, I would often clean up her room when she was at her dad's for the weekend. I figured if I wanted it clean, it would be up to me. When I got sick, she was informed that it was up to her. I got on her about picking up every day. BUT I was sick and could not oversee it. And let me tell you, she can mess up a room in a half hour. As far as laundry goes, if we had a washer & dryer in the house, it would be a whole different story. But the laundry room is outside, down the stairs, and in another room. It takes quarters which A- I normally do not have and B- I am not usually even feeling good enough to go and get. In OUR situation, my mom and my dad come by every once in awhile and pick up my laundry to do it for me. So, even if I were to let her keep her room a sty, dirty nasty clothes and all, we'd end up having a problem when she ran out of clothes. here is the other thing, and possibly part of her attitude - she has not seen her dad in over a month, and she knows where he is. Which also mean that I have not had a break from her in over a month. Nobody else will take her. Nobody else can handle her. And, according to my MOM, that is MY fault, because if I knew how to keep her in line, she would have more respect for adults. and then more adults would be willing to take her for awhile. I can't do this. [/QUOTE]
