[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 31252, member: 2727"] "The problem I see with negotiating is that you won't win. difficult child is pushing away, wanting to be an adult, and acting like a child." Geeze SunnyFlorida, That was my difficult child to the T. All in all I think that I was pretty fair with her as far as compromise when needed (I refused to walk on egg shells in my own home) to alleviate allot of the unecessary drama. And I let her know straight up what was expected as well as letting her know upfront what the consequences would be if she opted not to follow through. Although she is now 18 she thinks like a 15 year old. [/QUOTE]
