[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 112687, member: 1631"] Thank you Ladies! Today was a much better day. Klmno-My patience was on overtime but I did get a good night's sleep. Jannie-Hopefully when she gets back she will be better when she gets back to school-if nothing else she won't have as much time to spend around difficult child. FairlyOddParent-That's what we keep saying is why can't she see how what she does makes difficult child worse and then she has to endure more! Beth-I think you are right on her entitlement issues. She is fed up with difficult child and I don't blame her. Michele-I think getting back to structure might be good-even though it means I have to go back to work too. Linda-We do keep trying with some of the traditions-not sure if it's smart or not. We have changed some though and I do miss that. WFEN-I too wish we could figure out how to change that negative impact. Fran-We have told her before she could look for a family where she would be happy-she usually gets fairly quiet after that. I need to have that discussion with easy child again about "to much that has been given, much is expected". You are also right about the verbal abuse. We do send them to their room but with difficult child the most he can stay is 5-10 minutes at this point. Nomatic-Good suggestions. Unfortunately difficult child doesn't have many friends and none really that come over. For easy child it might be an option but she is a bit of a loner too. I think I'll try that for her next year. We try to have things for difficult child to do himself but at this point he is incapable of being much on his own for an extended period of time-it is something we are working on. Terry-Thanks for the hugs. Janna-I can't wait for easy child to be old enough to get a job-I think it will be very good for her-at least during summers! She has a hard time just keeping up with school work during the year. [/QUOTE]
