I am losing patience with SD10. There are many things going on in my life and feel that I am being pulled in a million directions. For one, I am working full time and going to school full time. This requires me to lock myself in the bedroom for countless hours to study. All I ask is that things run normally througout the house when this happens so I dont feel like I have to take control on top of everything else.

I ask that SD10 keep up her grades, take care of her cat and frog, and change her sheets when she wets the bed. Now yesterday, I noticed that even though we have her on new meds for her bladder, she has begun wetting herself a bit again. Althoug this is not nearly as much as before, it requires us to adjust her meds (if she tells us, as I hate to go panty sniffing..ugh!). Well this morning (the morning of a HUGE lab practical in class) I find that she didnt have time to dry her hair or take a snack for school or brush her teeth (these are everyday things, how could she all of a sudden not have time). Then I checked her room and found that she has been sleeping in multiply soiled sheet..double ugh! And of course, her frog has no water. I feel myself loosing patience as her grades have also been slipping and I found $85 in her room (she is to not have more than $10 in the house, the rest goes in savings) I know that this is from her mothers family, but she lied about it.

How do I not loose patience? I feel it coming and cant seem to stop it. The stuff that irkes me the most is the daily stuff we have told her MANY times to do. HELP!
