[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 363607, member: 4040"] Miss KT used to pull that, too, every time she got ticked off at us. I finally told her that was fine, BUT she had to stay for the entire year. No switching schools, no crying and whining because Dad's house wasn't what you thought it would be, you wanted this, you deal with it. No moving back home until the year is up. Because she knew I'd hold her to it, and wouldn't let her come back, she decided it wasn't such a great idea, and stopped the manipulation. in my opinion, your sd is counting on her mom feeling bad and will then do anything to keep her at home, like let her do what she wants, toss you out, whatever the current issue is. I don't have all the answers, and I'm really not covered with constant rhino skin (in fact, I was in the ER Sunday evening- thought I was having a heart attack), and I'm not totally immune to the constant drama. I can also relate to your wife's sacrifices for her kids. All I can say is do your best to be there for your wife even though her daughter is being awful. [/QUOTE]
