Re: Today is one of THOSE days

[Guest guest]

I understand.  My son is 17 and still needs to be reminded of some

things he has had to do every day for years.  But, I am still

reminding my 13 yo daughter that she needs to do the dishes every

night.  If I don't remind her, she 'forgets' and goes to bed without

doing them.  She does not have ADD or AS.  She just doesn't like

doing dishes.  Can't say I blame her, but someone has to do them.

 

My kids just make me want to scream some days. They have

the same schedule M-F. Wake up, eat, shower, go to school.

Come home, do homework, get chores done, use game/tv time.

Lately, my two aspies have been slacking on homework and

chores. They tell me they have no homework, only for me to

go through their bags and find it. When it comes to chore

time, I literally have to walk behind them as they do

their chores. If I ask if it's done, they say yes, until I

stand up to check it, then they run to do it.

If I leave the room for a moment, they stop doing them.

It's driving me NUTS. Chores and homework are not new to

either of them. My youngest will be 10 next month, the

older one will be 13 in January. Nothing about this is

new, except how they are handling it.

Some days, I just need to vent, so I'm not screaming the

house down.

I only have one but boy do I understand. My dd is ten and in fifth grade. I just feel the older she gets the harder it is. I thought it was supposed to get easier. She just got her report card today and got a "bad" grade for her neatness in her work. I tell her all the time to write nicer. I just feel like I get NOWHERE. I must clean her room 2-3 times a week and by clean I mean just pick up toys and I dont even do that thoroughly. I wish she would help more but shse wants to do anything but what I ask her.Sorry, I like to vent too. lolRobinTo: autism-aspergers Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2011 5:18 PMSubject: Today is one of THOSE days

Well, we didn't let either have game/tv time tonight (they get 30 minutes of

'screen' time on week days if they have their chores done). I laid down for a

while after DH came home, and let him deal with the kids for a bit, while I ate

too much chocolate to be healthy, and watched A Christmas Story, before

rejoining the world of the living. The break was as calming as xanax usually is
