[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 67279, member: 3211"] BKK, Many hugs to you. If you were feeling 100% well yourself, this would still be a difficult situation. I wish I could come over and give you a hand. Don't beat yourself up about yelling - I think we've all BT and DT. I have been angry with myself for some of the things I have said, but when you are pushed and pushed beyond your limits, things get said. Our difficult child has just enough Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in him to keep his rooom (mostly) neat as a pin. easy child on the other hand, is the one with all of the toys with tiny pieces (Bratz earrings, doll house furniture, etc.) and has no organizational skills whatsoever. I literally have to go into her room, turn off all tvs and or music and sit on her bed and direct and supervise every move she makes - broken down in tiny steps. She cries at first, usually because she is so overwhelmed. And she whines (which makes my skin crawl), but eventually, she starts to see where she is making some progess (and I make a huge deal about it) and keeps going. She moves like molasses, but it gets done. When she starts to see progress, I suggest she can turn her music back on while she works - sort of like a mini-reward. Seems to work with her, but she is still not able to clean on her own - I have to go in each and every time. It is usually at least a 2 hour process, but worth it in the end. I know you're not feeling well, but could you go in and lie on her bed and direct Tink? So sorry that so many things are going badly at once. Still more hugs and positive vibes coming your way.
