[QUOTE="Andy, post: 357207, member: 5096"] Congratulations - That is great! It does make perfect sense about the "given" respect and it is an awesome feeling when we get it. I always cherish the memories of working in a concession stand with both my kids. That was a time of given respect that I don't get a lot of. And watching our otherwise rivalring children enjoy each other is so uplifting. You would think a boy and girl who differ in age by 6 years could learn to stay out of each other's way but no, I get the full blast of fights from time to time. My Diva is really coming around lately. The other night she joined difficult child in the living room and sat on the floor to help him cut out cardboard circles for a school project. Rare and precious times. Diva and her boyfriend have also teamed up to be the "adult" on a JR/Adult bowling league with difficult child. For your GFG15, this might not last long, but it will return from time to time and hopefully with each time last longer. And, it is possible that during that session she actually understood something and the respect for you and enjoyment of her sister just may continue. Rejoice in each moment. Just don't be too disappointed if she slips back into her old habits because sometimes it takes time to get these new ones to stick. [/QUOTE]
