[QUOTE="JLady, post: 222695, member: 6439"] Jennifer. easy child is a child. You are upset at the moment. Dealing with easy child's and difficult child's can really wear you out. Let the time pass. Make sure your daughter knows the rules and where the boundaries are. Mean what you say and say what you mean. Remember that whatever you tell her, you will have to back up so be careful in making decisions while you are this upset. My 21 year old daughter will tell you that the worse thing I ever did to her was refuse to speak to her when I was upset once. She was so use to my yelling and explanations for why you shouldn't do something that when I had nothing to say because I was so disappointed, she was crushed. She knew she had really messed up. At the age of 17 my mother told me to get out of the house because she didn't like the things I was doing. I have felt that same rejection throughout my life. Please do not reject your daughter because of poor choices. We all make choices and we all have to suffer the consequences of those choices. Make sure she understands that. This is just my opinion. Please take what you want and leave the rest. I hope the relationship mends quickly. [/QUOTE]
