At the end of my rope
I am starting to feel very hopeless with my SD. She is continuing to struggle in school and her school has fought with us tooth and nail when we have tried to get her evaluated for learning disabilities.

Sometimes I just wanna tell SD to suck it up! Find something to do!
I am probably going to sound really obnoxious, but it seems like a lot of kids recently are incapable of dealing with the slightest inconveniences. My upbringing was much more priviledged than SD7's but I had extended family who were very typically stoic, protestant work ethic rural types so things usually roll off my back. DH and I have both worked manual labor jobs in places without AC in East Texas, so we are both pretty unbothered by stuff like that.
Doing anything with SD7 is impossible. I want to give up. DH does not care much.
Title basically says all. DH and I are dealing with the repurcussions of SD7's grandparents' piss poor parenting decisions but it seems like DH is less dedicated to undoing it all than I am. SD is 7 but acts like she is 4, she is behind in just about every dimension, but DH insists that running away from school, hitting teachers, and having meltdowns is normal kid stuff. Sorry, but where I'm from, no one acted like that at 7.
