[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 100803, member: 3907"] Meowbunny, I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with your difficult child's attitide. Like BBK and Kathy have mentioned, I think a lot of it stems from the "all about me" attitide that seems so prevalent. My easy child (sort-of) step-D seems to have this attitude in spades. She has a huge sense of entitlement. ("I [i]need [/i] a vacation. I'm not like you...you seem to be able to just tough it out, but the stress just gets to me and I need a break.") Give ME a break! Step-D has just returned to work after a 3 month break (Now granted, the first month she was looking after difficult child during the days while husband and I were at work, before difficult child moved to his Residential Treatment Center (RTC)...which was as tough as a job gets), but the last 2 months she's just been "networking" (in other words meeting up with her friends for lunch). Step-D wasn't raised this way, so I'm not sure where she gets this attitude, but all of her friends seem to have it as well. I can't put it down to a generational thing either, because none of them are that much younger than I am. I don't understand where it comes from. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
