[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 129821, member: 1631"] Thanks everyone! Terry-I too had to laugh (to myself, of course) about threatening to take away the homecoming dance. I just couldn't think of anything else at the time. I agree she should have more responsibility. Actually during the weekend we expect more from her than during the week. She actually does her own laundry and is usually good about having clothes ready. Crazymama-It sure is hard to tell whether they are pcs or difficult children. I did do something nice for me. husband and I went out to dinner last night and left easy child to fend for herself for dinner (there was plenty to eat). FOP-Seems over the top to me too but I'm not around a lot of teenage girls (thank goodness!). TM-I love that rule!!!! SW-I love the suggestion about carving out the one on one time but when I make the attempt she doesn't want to. She really withdraws a lot which worries me. When husband or I try to talk to her about what she could do differently she starts getting upset all over again. She will listen at the therapist office but not follow through at home. Meowbunny-It could be PMS. With her it seems to be somewhat cyclical except it seems to last a really long time-like half the month! Sue-I too was laughing after the fact (to myself, of course, like I told Terry-easy child didn't find it too funny). I was desperate for anything that would work. difficult child comforting me was really nice! Heather-I hope it is just typical teen and if it is I can't wait till she is out of the teens! Wow-5 snow days are a lot! We used to always have two built in so we were shocked to find out we didn't. Thanks again-she is still being very moody but that may be in part because she now knows her consequence for pulling such an attitude. We told her no tv for 1 day and no computer for two days.
