Cant Believe what my bipolar daughter is doing

Just got home from bingo and had fun but lost. Ok I can really believe she is doing this because I am BP too but it just so irritates me.

Here goes. I call on my my way to Bingo, first off she tells me she wants new shoes and I never buy her anything NOT true. The kid has better clothes and shoes than I. Then she proceeds to tell me that her friends mom who she spent the night with bought her an $80.00 coat because she told them we did not buy her one. First off the girl got a brand new one last year that still fits and also an Aeropostle coat. The parent replys I cannot believe your own mom and dad won't get you a coat. Here is the other kicker, she asked for Christmas a 130.00 Hollister coat which we bought. I asked her what about her other tow coats she is like O I don't like those anymore. Hello know this mother thinks I don't care about my kid.

So I started crying! Big baby me, well it hurt.

30 minutes later I call and she is outside at her friends. Hubby tells me she got 3 pink slips for not doing homework and walking out of the classroom. She has no more ISS any more trouble she is OSS.

Trust me this is far better than a month ago and the new med Lithium seems to be better, but my goodness she really hurt me.

I better take a Seroquel so I can fall asleep otherwise I am going to be all over this board and not want to get up tomorrow.

I'll be back tomorrow again my desk is cleared off and I tilted my monitor a tad so I can get on and off

I am glad you got to vent. I relate, I have 4kids, and they have so many clothes, I can't keep up with the laundry. I would be hurt, too. If my kids did that. Have you thought of talking to these people about what your daughter is doing?

Being a parent you have the right to be treated with respect. I wouldn't allow my kids to play games like that. Thats manipulating.

I hope you feel better, and take care of yourself.

Hi I am a hanging! Yes I thought about calling the parent and I still might.

Just everything I ask her do ie clean her room (I had the sucker spotless Saturday) it is a wreck now. I asked her to please clean it up when she got home today. She said stop annoying her and she will do whatever she wants.

Wow 4 kids, I just 4 in the family and I am constantly doing laundry. She changes and my son changes twice a day. I do her but make her put it away. YEAh it is still all over the floor and half the hang up clothes on her bed. I was raised in a clean house, everything has its place and I am the same but this room is driving me NUTS.

I had a tough time this am getting her motivated to go to school and while she is there, all she does is get into trouble or not do her work.

I honestly do dnot know how my hubby handles both of us. I want a freaking new car! - manic side speaking. No not really I need one. Mine is a 99 and is paid for I have never had a car this long.

Hope you gals have a good one!

I have a 10 yr old, a 8 year old, and a 7 year old, and a 2 yr old. I have 2 dogs, and two cats. I also have a boyfriend, who has been sick for a year. I got on meds in April. If it wasn't for the meds, and therapy, I wouldn't beable to handle it all. I have to take breaks, and get out of the house, to get my center back. I also have a lot of support from friends. Also if it weren't for having all these things to deal with, I wouldn't get out of the house, when, I am depressed. I wouldn't have gotten help, either.

I have a daughter. I make her stay in her room until her room is cleaned. She is so stubborn. She will stay in there for days, and not clean her room. I even help her. My two sons do really well at cleaning their room.

When, I am manic, I like to go shopping or dye my hair. I don't dye my hair, anymore. I want to go shopping, but, I am broke. I don't really need anymore stuff, either.

from kids anymore, their grown in age anyway but not in mind wise

my youngest is 20 going on 15.

she will rant and rave we dont care or do anything for her even though we just spent the day helping her get her things taken care of.

she gets ssi for a mental dis, which I went through hell to get her and still fight to keep it for her still, she dont see how much I do or we do for her. we take her every where she needs to go shopping docs and she pays no gas.my stepson wont go to work hes scared they will pick him up for child surport but we cant afford to suport him again this winter. as we have the last four.

he has to take resopabilty

how do I get my husband to back me, I dont want to kick stepson out

when hes got no place to go but he knows we wont so he dose nothing

I know, I have to keep bringing things up to my fiance, sometimes for him to finally hear me. Somethings, I have had to let him have his point of view, until he sees the problem, too. He can be very stubborn....lol

Is there anyway to communicate to your step son, even though your husband

wont listen?

Anyway, i hope something will work out.

Godbless, Gypsy

(I hope I don't sound too bossy or nosey)

I have a son who is ADHD, and he tries to get away with stuff and blame it on his illness. We have to be careful not to let him play this game.
