[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 67312, member: 831"] BBK, She's six. And a difficult child on top of that. I'm not implying that what you want is unreasonable, but I try to remember that when I'm ready to give my darlings the boot out the door. Both of MY difficult children don't see it. And, at times, it makes me feel absolutely crazy! However, when I remember when I was their ages, I didn't see it either. It simply wasn't important. My Dad was compulsively neat, and oh the battles that went on during my growing up. Epic battles. When Son comes home from school he throws his back pack right in the middle of the walk way into the living room. When he cleans it out, he leaves the contents he wants to keep all over the floor. Without fail, I have to call him in and tell him to pick it up. Does he get annoyed? Yep, most of the time. Whatever, feel annoyed, Kid, just get it picked up. Well, I think I would like to get on that deal! I hope you don't think I find your situation amusing. I know how frustrating difficult children can be. I got into a yelling match with Daughter yesterday (She's, like, going to be SOOO out of here when she's 18). Typical teen stuff, but she's NEARLY 16 and knows it all. I'm Mom, otherwise known as The Idiot (I know she THINKS it..lol). She also has the VERY annoying habit of using a dish and putting it on the counter ABOVE the dishwasher! You'd think she put it IN the wishwasher, but NOOO. I've even come home to finding a STACK OF dishes there. So, I tell her to put them in the dishwasher, and she does without protest. When I ask her why she didn't just put them in there in the first place, she responds with "I just didn't think about it". Oy! Try to take care, BBK. I would take Tink off your hands for the day in a sec if I didn't live 2000 miles away. I know it's so hard to deal with this kind of stuff when your not feeling healthy. Keep venting if it helps.
