[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 205118, member: 1991"] Don't feel guilty. I've done the same myself. If she gives you a hard time over it, tell her that parents do not have to be reasonable at 3 am when they are desperately short of sleep. Being a parent is never-ending, so without sleep you should not have to be on duty. Without sleep you should not be held responsible for what you say to the person costing you that sleep! But here is something I was going to send to you separately - keep this link at the ready for when she is being good. I just found it accidentally, and emailed it to easy child 2/difficult child 2. There is an anime character that she loves called Chi. The story is Chobits. The character wears outfits like this. The patterns would be easy, but the rule is - she has to make them herself. Pay for them herself. She can get help with the job by getting advice form experts, but otherwise - she has to learn this on her own. THis is what drove my daughter to not only learn to sew, but to become really proficient. [url]http://stores.ebay.com.au/Funky-Little-Shop_Skirt_W0QQfsubZ3601797[/url] Marg [/QUOTE]
