That definitely sounds frustrating. I have a feeling I'd probably act very similar if I were in a similar situation...Shelley L.

My ...i can certainly relate to the patience thing. My daughter has Aspergers and its just a very trying thing for me to deal with some days. She has become better with certain things. One area she still struggles immensely with is hygiene. She's gonna be 12 in a few days and although she has come so far, she still needs someone to be the fire under her, to remind her how to get ready for school or whatever. Today I noticed a gigantic snarl in her hair and just the mention of it, she started crying and sobbing. We both knew it was gonna hurt to get out. And I was willing to help her get out. So I went in her room looking for a comb. The girls both told me they had cleaned the room, but as I started searching, I realized they did no cleaning. They just shoved junk in bags and hid it in their closet! I was so irritated. I started ranting and raving. And to defend my stupid actions, I must tell you that I have sat with them and showed them at least 40 times how to clean that room. Once a month I do it and once a month I get extremely mad because it is not done correctly. And when I see that I'm talking into thin air, I grow impatient. Now I know how God feels about me...let's be glad He deals with me much nicer than I do my kids :(Michellehttp://www.crossdrivenhome.comnoreply@blogger.com
