Thanks for all the responces. We really don't have a lot of room in our home (we live in a 3BR apartment) and no one really has a lot of privacy. We've tried working this out with Krys but she seems to feel that SHE deserves; respect, privacy, privileges and favors - and noone else deserves the same from her. We've had several talks and I've tried to come to compromises with her as well as setting up schedules but then when it comes to her fulfilling her end of the deal.....then it's not fair. We are expected to give and sacrifice to for her whims and make her life simpler but when it comes to the her needing to give back all of a sudden WE are being unreasonable and unfair. Krystal is a GREAT taker/receiver but has NO IDEA what it means give back or pitch in.
Sorry, I really didn't mean for this to turn into a ramble, it's just that I'm at the end of my rope and torn between going insane or trowing in the towel.
Thanks for listening!
