[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"thing two" jumped out at me also. No wonder your kids have problems. Maybe if you model loving and caring behavior for them they will reciprocate. It may be too late at this point though. [/quote]

Really? I have several friends with multiple kids and we affectionately refer to them as Thing 1 and Thing 2... Have you never read Dr. Seuss?  Get a grip folks. [/quote]

This is an age thing (pun intended.)

I feel like gen X and older moms get the Dr. Seuss reference. Younger Gen X and millennials probably just thought you were calling your kid a thing and responded in kind. Dr. Seuss just isn’t as ubiquitous as he once was. [/quote]

NP  I got the Dr. Seuss reference, but I still thought it was an odd way to refer to a child who is working through mental illness issues on a forum looking for advice/sympathy.  The title of the post was somewhat telling as well - it was posted on Saturday not Mother's Day.  You don't get a whole weekend, especially from a teenager.

I get it that OP is dealing with a lot of stuff but the way things were phrased has probably been the source of negative feedback.[/quote]
