[QUOTE="keista, post: 435423, member: 11965"] Sorry you're going through a rough patch, but like everything else, parenting ebbs and flows. . Sounds like it's time to set up rules and privileges. Start with the privileges that her brother doesn't get. If you get those in the front of her mind, it will be harder for her to argue that she's got rules that don't apply to him - of course she does, but she's got the privileges too. At 10, she's on the cusp of teenagerhood, and the better you can discuss and negotiate now, the 'easier' it will be in just a few years. My plan A was a chore and allowance schedule, which isn't working out very well for us, so I'll be going back to the drawing board - probably after vacation. So sorry about your ex issues. It so frustrating to hear that he gets any visitation at all when his concern is obviously not for the kids, but himself. ((((HUGS)))) [/QUOTE]
