[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 358218, member: 6546"] Shari-- I think you should do what's convenient for YOU for a change. You did a nice thing by protecting difficult child's money. difficult child pays you back by calling you a thief. Why would you go out of your way to arrange something special for her? And how ironic that you saved difficult child $75 and now you want to GIVE her an extra $75 in the form of shooting lessons. I'm not sure it's about "punishment" as much as it's about showing her that you can't treat people like dirt and still get them to do things for you. Spending time in a class with you is a special treat. She didn't earn it. She has done nothing that sounds like you owe her a "treat". If difficult child wants to particpate--let her pay for it herself by GIVING you the very same $75 that you prevented her from losing. Otherwise, she can take the cash and throw it out the car window on the way home to BM for all you care. If she doesn't appreciate what you did for her...why try to do something else right away? It's not fair to you. [/QUOTE]
