[QUOTE="betdan, post: 273058, member: 7412"] Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is great to have people that are understanding me for once and not someone just telling me "shes extremely smart and that is why she acts that way" I went to bed thinking of a hundred different things I didn't mention. When she does act great, she constantly reminds me that she is acting great, she will say "your playing cards with me because I am being so good, right?" and I will say to her "yes, we can have such a nice life together if you would just listen and behave like this all the time" and she will repeat it with each nice thing I do for her or with her...the reward chart does work when not used for a while but does not work after using it for awhile, after a few days she shows no interest. I have also found a small amount of success with stopping her in her tracks just when she opens her mouth to yell at me and telling her to breathe in and out...don't ask me where I got the breathe idea but its kind of like think before you talk. I am at work and in a hurry but later at home I will print out all of your replies and address them and have my husband read them...I am so happy to have found this forum!! [/QUOTE]
