[blparent] Help

Jennifer, how much time does he spend with these children.  I don't mean
just being in the same home, but actual time interacting with them.  Life is
not always about having fun, but they could play games together and then
vacuum or dust.  I know my daughter is not perfect, no child is, but
consequences have to be dealt with for inappropriate behavior and being
nasty to him because he is blind is not acceptable in my book.  Ask her why
she acts this way with him and not with others.  Let her know they he is a
person first, and he is blind second.  Ask her if she would like to be
treated like she treats him.  V

lovely a few years huh.  I guess telling her when she feels like she is 
going to be bad to come talk to us won't work then.  sorry being sarcastic a

bit and fustrated.  Last week she pushed her screen out her window and 
started throwing her toys out of it.  we live in an apartment and the rental

office called him to let him know I was working a double.  last week I 
worked 63 hours, worked 4 double shifts and still having financial issues 
and the kids just make me sooo fustrated when they do stuff like this and 
then finally to find out why makes it even more fustrating when we can't 
find a way to fix it.
