[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 162871, member: 3388"] Sharon, I think I understand how you feel - My easy child will be 14 in less than a month. I feel like a monster has taken the place of my kind, caring daughter. I think your easy child got what she deserved. I agree with the others that no child should talk to their parents using nasty language. I wouldn't put up with it from my easy child either!!! I've been trying to stay totally neutral when dealing with my easy child. I'm actually adopting the methods I have to use with my difficult children. I find that staying calm, showing no emotion, and ignoring what I can (for example her eye rolling), helps a bit. However, I can't say that I am able to follow my own advice perfectly!!! easy child has a way of just getting under my skin that even my difficult children can't do. I've lost it too.:angry-very: However, I think it is ok if we lose it every now and then. We are human beings too. We deserve to be treated with at least the amount of respect our teen daughters would show a stranger on the street. In fact, I've told easy child this more than once. Too bad it goes in one ear and out the other!!! I think we'll need to have a HUGE cyber party when our PCs are out of their teen years!!! Until then, vent anytime you need to. We're always here for you. I hope today is a better day. WFEN [/QUOTE]
