[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 37991, member: 10"] Hi, Quote - I said you have money that you earned helping foster mom with yard work. She said, I don't know when I'll be able to get to the store. I said, well, You'll have to figure it out. She said, as she got out of the car, Oh, you're a real good mother, NOT! in my humble opinion your daughter's response was expected , you were not being helpful or empathetic, pretty top-down , and this made the ride for her unpleasant. The going to sleep incident - Ask yourself what could you have done different. You started threatening your kid with consequences , so he took you on, do you expect to say to himself , I prefer to be not grounded so I better keep quiet or I am going to fight and resist. it takes a lot of creativity and sometimes its just riding out the evening the best we can. see my post- my kid is not a dog or rat i hope this helps. it is not easy, we need to nurture ourselves Allan see my post [/QUOTE]
