[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ugliness of adolescence combined with my kid's active resistance at following house rules, lack of interest in all things academic, [b]and his typical sibling's increasing independence (which shows me what could be) have got me down. [/b] I am so, so tired of the neverending demands of SN parenting. They are different demands now that he's older but the sheer amount of needs is still a great deal more than for a typical kid.[/quote] I hear you. Especially the bolded. Seeing younger sibling entering the middle school years has been so different. Our issues with the oldest are different than yours, but still constant issues. The time and money spent on the child with needs doesn't leave much left for even myself, although taking some time out for myself to escape a little helps. [/quote]
