[quote=Anonymous]I am a little surprised that you are pathologizing your DD. Unless there is a lot more going on here, it seems unduly harsh to call her self centered and lacking in empathy on the basis of what you have written. What does come through is that she is struggling academically. Your own post suggests that after doing her school work and showering and eating she has almost no time to spare. She is making the grades (perhaps parental pressure to perform?) but expending every ounce of energy doing so. Perhaps she has a subtle LD that is making HS a real challenge for her and she is feeling very stressed at simultaneously being successful in school and doing chores, even those that benefit her directly like laundry. Perhaps some empathy for her is called for here and some help and understanding on what is making her school work so difficult for her. [/quote]
