[QUOTE="ksm, post: 575966, member: 12511"] well now we are in total meltdown mode. Tried to have a talk with difficult child about the shorts... then taking them to school with her... and she lost it. She is never contrite, sorry, remorseful or any mood but DEFIANT! This is her reasoning... "I knew you would go look for them, so I took them to school with me so you wouldn't find them even though I wasn't going to wear them!" I point out that on the phone when she called asking me to bring a check for school, she said they were in her back pack and she changed her mind about changing in to them. We tried to talk to her, but she kept texting her friends on her iPod, so we asked her to put it down until we were finished and she tossed it across the room. Of course, this is the room with carpet. Then she refused to talk or stay in the room with us and started to stomp off, so we asked for the iPod and she refused, then ran upstairs and slammed the door to her bedroom. I unplugged the wifi so she wouldn't be able to text her friends. husband was going to take the door off (what we have threatened to do when she slams it) but I talked him in to waiting to see if she was going to calm down. NOPE. So now door is off. We have the iPod. SHe is saying she can't sleep in a room without a door, so will have to sleep in her closet. I am trying to stay out of it. At least he hasn't lost his temper and is talking nicely to her. Oh, she finally took off her sweatshirt and she was wearing a tiny halter top underneath! I now realize that the shorts were only the beginning of the outfit. Who would do that in 20 degree weather? Just once I would like her to listen to our reasons and come up with a compromise, or at least admit she was wrong or over reacted. Nope. Hasn't happened in the last 8 years. KSM [/QUOTE]
