[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 567273, member: 1722"] Malika~ I think most of us are not typical parents simply because our children are not typical. Duckie is very difficult to live with so I'm probably a lot firmer than most (she's generally not "pleasant", Know what I mean??). There are a lot of things I don't care about, but I do care about respectful behavior, self-care and grooming and meeting responsibilities to herself and others. I don't care if her clothes match, but they will clean. She will not sign up for activity and not follow through. She will eat properly, exercise regularly, get enough rest and learn to manage her health problems. She will not treat others (myself included) without negative consequences. I've accepted that she will probably never be "nice", but she can show great kindness so I'll take that. [/QUOTE]
