IF Mom isn't willing to sit down and talk with you and then seriously address her child's needs (who is obviously used to being the center of attention!) than I wouldn't watch her anymore either. Unless God specifically tells you to continue doing so.
I read my post again and it sounded like I held her down, but I was trying to make the point that that would be my only way of controlling her and if I did she would get violent and I would never resort to that anyhow. The only thing that saved me yesterday was she didn't completely realize I had no means of punishment.
God is not telling me too. I actually feel strongly that He doesn't want me to enable her to not take responsibility for her own children. Especially at the exspense of mine.
I have ADD and I will tell you a schedule is essential. Check out Flylady.net it's mainly focused to ADD housewives, but can be adapted to any one with ADD.
YEAH!!!!! She called today and found someone else!!! I'm done for good!!! I have my house and my life back, most of all my sweet babies back!! Thank you girls for all your support and help.
I'm so glad. I was worried about you. It sounded so stressful. I love children, but it's hard enough to love and enjoy and PUT UP with the ones you gave birth to, let alone someone else's. : )
Does anyone have ADHD strategies?
