Explanation doesn't seem to have much effect on her. Rules and possibly consequences seem to work better. I don't think there are any issues with socks anymore. The issue is now spitting, wiping saliva on clothes. She has been to an ENT, had a barium swallow, been evaluated by OT, Speech...

Yes, thank you lol. Now she appears to be changing socks on a regular basis, but I have noticed another troubling thing. She spits.....often. Like a sailor (sorry sailors). She has a trash can in her room and she was missing, leaving a pool around her can. I told her to get up and go to the...

That's really good that your son is the one writing the reminders. I think the socks are no longer a problem. Now we have a new one. She spits a lot. She spits in her trash can in her room and was missing, leaving a pool around her trash can. She spits outside too. I told her to stop spitting...

I think you should've thrown the book in the trash also. My counter to the author of the book would be to present evidence from the Bible of what a virgin was- a woman who has not slept with a man. Innocent boys have wet dreams and feelings of arousal can arise without provocation or during...

I feel so sorry for this girl. It sounds like her mom and dad need some help. She snooped through her daughter's room and then told her husband. Then her dad went and told another man and wanted a man to talk to her daughter???? Your wife seems to be a sane woman, so maybe she could talk to...

It's amazing how circumstances can change. Last school year the relationship between my SS and his dad/me was not good. My dh would drive 13 miles to pick him up after school for his court ordered visitation and SS would not answer phone/ hide from his dad. This happened many times. At the...

I'm going to assume you are concerned because you want your daughter to believe in God? I would suggest you read the Bible with her. I would also suggest you attend church with your daughter. One class I took stated that something that teens detest is hypocrisy in their parents. So, if you...

I made it very clear about the socks quite a while ago. Since the situation came up again I added the underwear requirement just in case. We discussed bras, but there are different rules for those. I bought her a new package of socks and more bras and have confiscated some of her old, useless...

She got a perfect math score in her state testing before 6th grade. She had been in regular classes getting ok grades. After 6th grade started she moved to another district without her IEP and her teachers were very excited about her scores and she ended up in a gifted program and then Honors...

No, she has clean socks to wear and they are organized in a basket right at her fingertips. I worry about what will happen when she is on her own. Assuming she will be on her own. How will she look after kids when someone needs to look after her?

Anyone have any insight on this kind of behavior? My very bright daughter who just turned 16 wears the same socks and bras numerous times. The bras aren't as troubling as the socks, but she will wear them and not be aware or care that they may smell. This is the third time I have found that...

Thank you for your post. I had to wipe some tears away. My son is 22 and hates math, loves history, but is not mechanically inclined. He has never had a gf, but tried to initiate dates in HS and at Jr. College with some sad results. The most important thing is that his spiritual growth...

I know this board is slow....... Anyone have any insight on this kind of behavior? My very bright daughter who just turned 16 wears the same socks and bras numerous times. The bras aren't as troubling as the socks, but she will wear them and not be aware or care that they may smell. This is...

I hope you found someone. I gave up my child's IEP when we were trying to get her into another district on a permit. The IEP was just for counseling at that point in 6th grade and it was the best decision for her. Her teachers recognized how bright she was and she's in honor classes now...

If you love the house and can purchase it for a decent price that is within your means, then you should. But don't be mad if a future wife wants to move. Another poster had some eye opening things to say from the perspective of a child. I didn't like finding out on my own about a woman who...

My pastor's take on this that I got from a sermon a while back is that this is an idolatry/sin issue, not just a person with a high sex drive. There are many verses in the Bible talking about how man turned from the things of God and he gave them over to their sins. Ask for God to remove...

Hope the OP comes back and updates. You cannot do wrong by being obedient to God. One thing that atheists and others bring up about Christians is the hypocrisy. I wonder if you have dealt with that yet? You didn't start out too well with your husband in this department. My thought is that...

This is a very biased way of thinking. Do you think it's possible that because you hear most of stories from other men you do not have a clear picture of who is doing what? My ex filed, thought he was going to enjoy the job he had finally landed with decent pay and keep it all to himself...

If you carefully read the OP's post, the dad wasn't even in the room, he was watching TV in another room. A 13 year old girl shouldn't be sleeping in her dad's bed either though that would be another subject. A lot of posters had some good ideas and the OP is reading a book that looked very...

I remember when I was much younger and inexperienced thinking that depressed people just needed to get right with God and ask him for help, etc. I remember having some similar thoughts about divorced people too. You need to know the scripture, have some life experience and have compassion on...
