are you serious? you're blaming your kid for your mistakes?
she's a kid. kids don't know what trash is, tell/teach her what the trash is. stop expecting a child to understand what you mean without giving them instruction.
reminds me of every shitty coach I had as a kid. 'just hit/catch the ball'. and they get pissed off when you made a mistake, and then basically tell you you just suck and should quit.
Then the good coaches would... actually teach you how to hit and catch the ball... and then tell you what you did wrong when you made a mistake... and you'd... get better at playing the game... and you'd go from being crappy to being a lot better...
She is 17, not a young child. We have been going over this for over a decade and it really comes down to her refusing to acknowledge things are not always exactly literal. We have gone over this with a therapist for over 5 years as well, because she gets so worked up about it. I have repeatedly shown her what clean means in various examples but she keeps falling back to specific nit picking every time.
Note thst I am not referring to some kind of spotless perfection. Just not having trash around and things tidy enough to vacuum and dust and other basic cleaning practices.
Guess I should have given every single detail so you wouldn't assume so much to twist it into some kind of blame game for a child not listening to their parent.
she's not a child at 17. the fact you think she is might be why she is so incapable of adult functioning.
She is autistic you judgemental fuck.
cool, guess she can live with you forever then.
I called her my kiddo, you used child because you assumed an age. You assume a lot of shit that isn’t accurate and have painted a completely different situation than what I wrote.
It will take a few more years for her to catch up with everyone else but we are working on it. Lack of success doesn't indicate lack of effort or understanding.
You are clearly a terrible person.
