[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 357178, member: 1514"] A tale of two Janets. I was so much like your daughter. No I didnt steal my mom's clothes. Ewww! However, I did do this really manipulative little game when I was a teen where I would throw a huge tizzy fit and keep it up until they would turn over the charge card. I could turn it on and off like a switch. Now I had no idea back then why I was doing it or that it had a name or any of those lovely things. I just had these fits. What stopped me was life intruding in my little drama. When I had to stop having everything being all about me and had little ones that were depending on me to be a grown up, well, I didnt have the time to be idiotic anymore. I still had horrible mood swings and some of the borderline was there but I got out of the parental space so I wasnt manipulating them anymore. Its hard to manipulate babies. I guess it was good for me that I had them young. Not the best idea in most cases but it worked for me. [/QUOTE]
