[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 559584, member: 6546"] Hello and welcome! It's hard when you have two very different kids with two very different sets of needs. What helped for me was to take a step back and look at the big picture: was the difficult child going to be upset with me regardless of anything I did or didn't do? Yes. So why, then, was I trying so hard to make decisions based upon what would make her upset??? Since your eldest is 17 - are you already hinting, pushing, shoving her out of the nest? What kinds of plans does she have for life after high school? And if your 13 year old still wants a lot of hugs? I don't see anything wrong with giving them. Here's one for you - (((hug))) [/QUOTE]
