[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 475882"] I can relate. difficult child lately has been on this kick where everything is unfair. easy child gets more than he does. No one loves him, but if we bought him everything that he wanted we could "prove" that we love him. And I agree that it is VERY frustrating because there is only so much that you can do. Why does she feel that sitting down together as a family is too rigid? Does it bother her that she has to share dinner time with easy child and it's not just you and husband at the table with her, having her undivided attention? We had a problem with difficult child like that. It got to the point where he refused to sit at the table and would rather go without dinner. I told him that if chose not to eat dinner that was his issue, but that dinner time was family time and he was expected to sit at the table with the rest of tha family. Eventually he dropped his demand that it just be him and me at the table and when he was forced to sit at the table, he did eat. I have asked that same question myself. Why the heck am I even trying when it never seems to get better? Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
