[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 251520, member: 6705"] Aeroeng...Thanks for the reminder on plan B... I'll keep trying on the negotiations... When the television part of the grounding was over, she glued herself right back to it. Now, being warned that it would be turned off at 9:30 PM when she went to take a shower, and agreeing to that (we expressed our concerns, she said that made sense to her...), husband mentioned at 9:00 when we put easy child to bed, "don't forget 9:30"... No response. He went over to her, said her name, and when she looked up, repeated himself, and..."I KNOW I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME!" Wow. 9:15, I went in, "hey baby girl, just your 15-minute reminder." "Okay, as soon as I'm done watching this." (Wait a second. How long is the show? And why is she being nice?) 9:29, husband goes in, says nothing till the clock changes. He opens his mouth, but before any noice comes out, she explodes. "MY SHOW ISN'T OVER YET YOU CAN'T MAKE ME TAKE A SHOWER WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM GO AWAY!" The show was, in fact, over, and there was a commercial on. She waited until the clock said 9:30 to explode, with no real prompting. I walked over and turned the stupid thing off. This isn't every night, nor is it always directed at husband - that was just one night. Problem with me is, I just don't watch TV. Not interesting to me. So I don't get the glued part... It will be fun to find out how this afternoon went with my Dad. I had some stuff she needed to do before TV. Wonder if she blew up at HIM?! [/QUOTE]
