[QUOTE="daralex, post: 269838, member: 4467"] I get somethink like this from my difficult child (same age as yours) except mine is that I'm the worst mother ever. This is because I recently put my foot down as I couldn't take it anymore either. I explained I am her mother and all I need to provide her with was food, clothing, and shelter. If she wanted stuff like hairspray (by the carton!) she would have to pay herself. OHHH - if you could have heard the tirade that followed that - it went on for DAYS!! I am a horrible mother because I won't let her pierce her tongue and am making her pay for her makeup - OOOOOOOH!! It takes a long time for it to get through to her - but she is coming around slowly. We will always be the bad guy - you just have to remember that you are more patient and caring than most moms. Sometimes we have to keep telling ourselves because difficult child's ARE manipulative and do not always see things clearly. I feel your pain - I know your frustration. Focus more on what is good for you and difficult child will just have to get used to it. It's a rough road. Sending {{{HUGS}}}! -Dara [/QUOTE]
