Hi,
I just read your post, and have a small smile on my face, as I think of my almost 17 year old daughter..... doing her homework downstairs. (No meltdown yet) Yes, I too have gotten those calls from school with that desperate stressed out voice demanding an appointment be cancelled, or lesson be re-scheduled. She's over-booked and not enough time keeping up with the social events, let alone PICKING UP THE CLOTHES ON THE FLOOR. It's like the flu bug. I have to admit my daughter is getting better about these things. She once told me that she didn't like to deal with "issues", and didn't until they were upon her. Through time we have worked with her and she is starting to look ahead somewhat; and prepare for what lies ahead in the near future. It's a struggel, I do know that. Frustrating? Yes. I too have a son that is the exact opposite and it's amazing to see that difference......my daughter always wants to blame someone else for her troubles. She never takes the blame! We are going through hell week, cheer try outs are next week......she has been doing this since 7th grade and will be DEVISTATED if she doesn't cheer her Senior year. Nerves are shambled, and I wish it were over with because it's really competitive at our school. I'm picking my battles this week with the bedroom....it's full of make-up, cloths, pictures, handbags, laundry baskets full of clean cloths to be put away....sound like fun? Nothing clean goes in until it gets picked up. Hang in there, you aren't alone at all. I'm happy to hear that I AM NOT ALONE OUT THERE.
Living for the moment? Yes they are! Has been, Still is, Probably will be for some time yet. -LPS Get this.....called home one day stressed out because the zipper broke on her Douney and Bourke purse. She wanted it mailed in THAT DAY to be repaired. What are we,... the repair dept...... Federal Express? Her dad about flipped. Is she the only girl in the world? I do think so. -L
