My Side

We are having an on going issue here...yes we have had 5 straight days of rain but that isn't the issue I was talking about.  The issue is that every time I ask MAC to do anything she doesn't want to do she gets angry or stubborn and says that I can't make her.  It used to be that I could call Hubby and he and she would talk and the homework would get done.  Now her response is, "It doesn't matter if you call him, he always takes your side!  I don't care!"  We have had discussions about this with the different hospitals and with the different doctors and talk therapists.  There really isn't anything I can do, homework is something that has to get done and good behavior is always a must.

Last night was no exception.  I asked to see her planner which had all the homework written in it.  She had 2 extra days to do her weekly reading last week and "forgot".  I told her she had to make it up with a real book (not a Manga or comic).  I asked to see her algebra and got a look.  By the time we had made it through the 7 classes I was back to being "That Horrible Woman who lives in the same house".

I know I need to stick to my guns and make sure that the homework is completed but with this happening 4 out of 5 nights a week gets old.  Before she went to bed at least I got an, "I love you" even if she wouldn't give me a hug.
