[QUOTE="Andy, post: 160655, member: 5096"] It is for these moments that I hope someday someone on this board has an answer for. Those "I am going to stay in your face and block your way until you say what I want to hear" hours (notice I did not say minutes because this can go on for hours). I can't stand it when I say "no" and tell the child to leave and instead, he or she invades my personal space and demands a different answer. We do what we can to address the issues before they become these power struggles but that is not always possible. We get ideas and suggestions on how to head this off, but nothing yet on what to do in the midst - I am unable to walk away because the little brat just follows me or blocks the way. And it doesn't help that husband just sits there. If he would get up and be a dad once in awhile but no, if he does participate it is to say, "You two stop fighting" which of course sends the message that kid and I are on equal terms so kid does not have to respect me as an authority figure. Guess I didn't help much just to say I am there with you and also waiting for the answer when in the midst of the battle. [/QUOTE]
