you know, i cannot understand why in the HELL life is the way it is.
sd11's grandma decided to read up on the diagnosis' we got from the shrinks. and her words were, and i quote, "sd11 is a sick little girl. we all need to take that into consideration. she is a poor sickly child who needs nothing but love in this time in her life. she cant help what she is doing."
yeah, ok.
thats why she is an angel at freinds houses and really good at school. cause she CAN help it. she chooses not to at home.
you know, i must be 'sick' too. i have pouts of depression, anxiety, and NO help at all. can soemone please excuse me when i scream and curse? or when i say i hate life so bad i wish i were dead?
*hand raised* may i be excused?

My mother ALWAYS coddles
My mother ALWAYS coddles choochoo and tells me I'm being too hard on him. Yet when I was a kid she was the prison warden BIG TIME. I think it's a grandparent thing like Tbogus said.

Totalybogus -"She's just trying to get into heaven now" LOL Love it!
Tortoises grandparents are
Tortoises grandparents are the same way. Militant with their kids, but let Tortoise do whatever the hell he wants. It makes me sick because that kid is so SPOILED!!!!
GAH!
Maybe she should have SD
Maybe she should have SD live with her for a while then, since she feels that way. People are not doing children any favors by making excuses for awful behavior. I sure hope she's not saying things like that in front of your SD.
