[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 199796, member: 84"] Heather Since you have nothing to loose (you're always mean anyway) no more arguments. What you say goes, no more debates. When she whines about that 200.00 costume (OMG!) tell her to s u c k it up. She's not the only one doing without right now. Haul her to a second hand store or thrift store instead. If that's not good enough, guess what kiddo? You're too old for trick or treating anyways. I'm not trying to be harsh. But she's getting into this habit of arguing you to death until you're to the point of giving it up, or strangling her. been there done that In these situations it can be better to think of her as an overgrown 2 yr old. You wouldn't take such behavior from a toddler, don't from her. Of course, I tend to think of the teen years as another endless bout of the terrible twos all over again. sigh I don't doubt Wynter's anxiety. But this I'm the center of the universe thing is manipulation to make it so. Some typical teen with a little extra thrown in for good measure. Ugh. Glad those years are behind me. They were not fun. ((((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
