[QUOTE="Chaosuncontained, post: 457322, member: 11016"] I am maybe stating the obvious or I may just be uneducated to your situation. But she is 12, right? Starting puberty. Without Mom. And at this age sometimes it doesn't matter if Mom was/is a MONSTER--they idealize her. "Mom is awesome". Could some of her behaviour be from these things? Her not being with Mom, PrePuberty stuff? My step kids (I have 4) are VERY entitled or so they think. It's really from their Mom giving into every wish, demand and whim...because the poor dears parents are (gasp!!) DIVORCED! My oldest son has ADHD and a mood disorder. He has a lot of defiance, mainly at school regarding his schoolwork. We take away things. He hates it. But were consistent (he hasn't had computer time in 3 days and he's "dyyyying"). Obviously it doesn't work ALL the time... but he does make it through the day trouble free some days--all for that computer time! ;) We also try to do more rewarding good behaviour and less punishing troubled behaviour. Pick our battles sorta thing. I hope someone gives you good advice... [/QUOTE]
