[QUOTE="busywend, post: 288544, member: 391"] First of all, you can not take anything a teenager says personally. It is just their hormones and mood swings talking. Hasn't she done this before and the next day was your best friend? Deep breathes! The difficult child scenario is oh so very familiar to me. The arguing and the trying to take things away. Ugh! It is so ugly, isn't it? Here is how I stopped those arguments. I detached. I did not speak a word if I had to take something away. If she asked me why I calmly would say 'you already know why'. How does your difficult child earn the computer time? Had he earned it the day before? [/QUOTE]
