[quote=Anonymous]Hugs, OP. Those days are hard and venting is a good short-term solution. From everything that you wrote, I would concentrate on your 8yo. Simply because she is old enough to help you. My now teen went through a “bathroom” phase. Meaning that every time I asked him to do anything, he had to use the bathroom. Another, albeit less popular excuse was homework. This drove me nuts and created all kinds of conflict. What helped in my situation was to start preempting possible responses: “Larlo: are you done with your homework? Do you need to use the bathroom? No? Great. I this case please, do XYZ.” Not sure if there are any parallels you can draw for your situation, but juts throwing It out there. Good luck! [/quote]
