[QUOTE="2daughters, post: 262485, member: 7134"] Thanks Stella and Marguerite. As far as the neighbor goes, when he starts in on how he would parent her, I just remind him that he's never raised a child that has gone through what mine has. That usually sets him off onto how horrible a person would have to be to do that to their own child. I do like the lines though, and will be keeping them handy to use. I've got the daily bag of toys for rewards towards the big reward. She seems to be doing really good with it so far. I do agree that a month of good behavior is a lot to ask of her, but I can't undermine husband though. Thankfully he's usually gone for a couple weeks at a time, so he isn't always here to see what she's going through each day. My idea of a good day, I think, is a lot different than his. Since he never specified what exactly he expects from her, I'm going with mine. Today was a good day. There was very little talking back, no swearing, and she only had one melt down. In her defense though, the melt down was caused by some teenagers that were picking on her...until I stepped in and got rude with them and ended up having them apologize to her. I did explain to her that what those kids did wasn't right and it wasn't a nice thing to do. [/QUOTE]
