[QUOTE="klmno, post: 196246, member: 3699"] KJS, don't beat yourself up. They ALL think everything is the parents' fault at some point. I try to remind myself that neither me or difficult child caused the issue, but it will ttake both our efforts to deal with it and try to manage it. So, sure, there probably are things that we could change to make things worse or better. Those things have to be identified first. It sounds like you are starting to look at that and ask yourself "would it help if I handled this situation that way instead of the way I've been doing it". So on homework, try backing off the fussing and try to get some classwork and homework reduced from school or a way to get more done at school and see if this helps. It helped my difficult child and both our stress levels at home. But, I spent a couple of years fussing at difficult child about getting his school work completed prior to this- just like any GOOD parent would- and that's what you have done. Don't beat yourself up!! [/QUOTE]
