[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 81476, member: 2211"] Huge, HUGE, problem all difficult child's life. When and if she ever gets a real job, it's going to have to be 2nd shift, say 10-6 or 3-11 or something. I remember once bringing her out to the bustop in her jammies I was so frustrated. Ugh. Many times I was late for work and rather than take the commuter bus I had to drive into the city and pay top dollar to park for the day. In fact, the first time she threw a tantrum at school and the teachers FINALLY got a good look at what I was dealing with was because difficult child wouldn't get out of bed, wouldn't brush her teeth, wouldn't pee, wouldn't get dressed, wouldn't eat her breakfast, ugh. It took a long time to get her ready for school and then she was eerily calm all the way there. When we started for the school doorway, she lost it and the principal came out and took her and I began to follow. The principal looked me square in the eye and said, "LEAVE. NOW. I HAVE THIS." I hightailed it outta there! haha. Mornings are hard for her, it didn't take us too long to figure that out and try to make adjustments for her. Incidentally, for grades 9-12, she popped out of bed because we put her in a different school. Never had a problem in the mornings after that again. Now almost 18 and a HS graduate, she's looking for a job and has stated, "I don't want to get up real early, but I don't want to work nights" LOLOLOL...when DOES she want to work? She said she wishes she could get a job that requires her to be horizontal and asleep. [/QUOTE]
