[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 179478, member: 831"] I'm sorry about your day. I've had a few of those myself. Sometimes, I have a Mom Meltdown difficult child-style. I know, completely immature, but it sure works! Talk about difficult children scurrying to their rooms like cockroaches when the light switch is flipped. Son has been a major butt-head these days. I mean, he's always been difficult, but I think the hormones are beginning it kick in. He's difficult over everything, unless it's his way. Today, I was able to give him a taste of his own medicine. I broke down and bought the family a Wii. So, we've all been playing it. Though, mostly Son and Daughter. I showed Son how to play the tennis game and he's gotten good at it. However, when he loses, he get extremely frustrated, takes it personally, and does the usual difficult child stuff. When he wins, he yells at the TV, "So, how do you like me, now???" as if the computer players know he's talking to them. So, I'm playing the tennis game with Son and husband watching me. I'm doing pretty good, but then start to lose a few points. Son gets anxious and begins with his, "You want me to help you, you want to me beat them for you". When I tell him "no", he declares, "You are just gonna lose!". I bark at him to be quiet and then I lose another point, again. Son walks out of the room mumbling, "see, I told you were going to lose". What a little brat! Okay, you can't laugh at me when you read this part. After that I made a big come back and won the match. Of course, I let out a whoop. Then, I played another game and won again. The last two points with aces served. I know, a video game. But, man, I was proud! It was at this point that Son walzes back into the room. I boast how I won and how Son was sooooo sure I was going to lose. Then, I served Son some of this own medicine with, "So, how do you like me now?" Boosted by the his being taken back I got real close and asked in that rap/hip-hop bobbing, kinda way. "So, how...do....YOU(pointing at son)......like.......ME(pointing at me)........[I]Now?"[/I] Then as the coup de gras I finished with a finger poking: "In YO face!" Aren't I such a great example as a mother?? Anyway, Son kept his distance for the rest of the afternoon. Works for me! :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
