[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the advice. Taking them out for a special activity would be a better idea. And I agree that the kids are suffering in this situation. I can already see how her mental instability is effecting them. At only 7 the oldest already has a stress induced tic disorder. And the 4 year old and 7 both have been exhibiting some OCD behaviors, like having to line foods up in a certain order, and then eat them in a certain order. Or obsessively organizing small toys, like shopkins and squinkies. And they just seem to be emotionally fragile, especially the older kid.

She isn't seeing a therapist but is on anxiety medication. And if it is working then I'd be afraid to see how bad she is without it. With the medication she has a hard time handling the kids. Like if they get sick she will literally have a panic attack over it. She will avoid the kids like they have the plague and will obsessively clean and disinfect the entire house.

Oh, and I wasn't suggesting that she keep every scribble they make, but if it's a really nice art project that you can tell they spent a lot of time on and they are excited to share it with her when she gets home then it's really upsetting to see her just throw it away.[/quote]
