[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 387514, member: 1233"] Allen, that is a great theory. It is all well and good if we take "blame" out of things, but having parents who don't use blame does little good when the difficult child uses blame to create a smokescreen that she thinks lets her "off the hook". The reality is that the particular difficult child that DF is raising seems to absolutely ADORE blaming people, and many many people outside the immediate family seem to buy her "excuses" when she adds in blame aimed at parents or whomever is the target of the moment. in my opinion your husband needs to use whatever he can to let her know that this is HER problem and her success or failure is dependent ONLY on her hard work or lack of it. I think staying uninvolved in this issue is probably a good idea. You have tried so many other ways to handle it, maybe this is the only thing that will get her thinking, or at least to stop some of the drama? [/QUOTE]
