[QUOTE="cammie, post: 550776, member: 15213"] Personal opinion? Explain (as calmly as possible) to your mother that her opinions are valid, but you are doing your best right now with what you have. difficult child 1 is 14 and it is her responsibility to take care of her own hygiene; she is not incapable, just unwilling. difficult child 2 is autistic. Any amount of laying down the law is a great idea, but, ultimately, futile. If she would like to try, she's welcome to (this usually works with my mother and mother in law; they never quite realize what they're getting themselves in to). Also, from one mother to another, you're doing your best. And, I admire you. You're a single parent with two special needs children. That's an amazing feat of strength! I've been lucky enough to have a husband through all of this, and when he was gone for three weeks at the beginning of the summer, I thought I was going to explode. You are amazing! Don't let anyone tell you any differently! [/QUOTE]
