[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 566369"] I think we can all agree with your sister in law means well, but she does not know what it's like to have to parent a child like this. I think that most of us have had to deal with a family member or friend at one time or another who felt that if we just made some little changes to our parenting style out lives would be perfect, just like theirs. I would take her suggestions with a grain of salt and move on. As far as the story that your difficult child told about how she spent her Thanksgiving, I would just ignore it. It sounds to me like she is fishing for attention and is looking for it anywhere she can get it, be it either good or bad. I know how hurtful the disrespectful behavior can be. I deal with that from my son on an almost daily basis. Yes, it's exhausting because you go out of your way to do nice things for all of the kids and then your feeling get trampled on. If she balks about taking her medications, I would make her father deal with it and get him to get her take them. Does he do any of the parenting, or is it left all to you? Can I ask where her bio mom is? [/QUOTE]
