[QUOTE="Janna, post: 255334, member: 2737"] Jena, Did you ask her WHY she was tantruming? What was she saying while she was throwing her fit? Anything? You know, I'm in the pick apart mode right now with my own, so here's what I'd be thinking. WHY did she throw the tantrum? Seriously, over the chip? So, here's my thoughts: No, you do not have to starve yourself because difficult child is going to have a fit over you eating something. I mean, sorry - that's just crazy. The next time you're going to sit with her, maybe do it this way: "difficult child, mommy is going to have chips and salsa for a snack. Would you like to have chips and salsa too, or would you like Oreo's and milk?". I know this sounds simple and you may have even tried that way - but it just baffles me, if you would have gone this route, and she STILL would have tantrumed, I'd assume then it's not the chips. There's something else going on. As far as the phone, I think that just goes with difficult child's. Maybe even just kids. All 3 of mine have no etiquette when it comes to me being on the phone. It's ridiculous. Sorry. :( [/QUOTE]
