[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 156317, member: 3419"] This sounds so familiar. I love Star's list! :) :) :) All I can say is detach, detach, detach. Also, if you saw Dr. Rosemond's column this weekend, it was a similar issue but with-a 4-yr-old. He said parents have to have a sense of humor and just walk away. He gave the ex. of a kid who wanted to move out, or have his mom and dad move out, and the response would be something like, "Okay. I'll get a huge mansion with-a swimming pool and every now and then I'll invite you over, and we'll have parties, but in the meantime you have to go to sleep." Then walk away. No more conversation. No taking it personally. Since Wynter is delayed and has emotional issues, she is not going to act at all adult-like for many yrs. She may get ticked that you "don't take her seriously," but it will help you keep your sanity. Please grow a rhino skin. And get earplugs. Take care. [/QUOTE]
