[QUOTE="Shari, post: 318118, member: 1848"] While its certainly no fun and surely not acceptable, I think it is pretty typical teen (there's that awful term again). I'm also not sure what punishment would be. easy child 1 never wished me dead, but difficult child 1 did. My response to him was always "ok" and let it go. If this is really the only thing your easy child has done, I'd be tempted to leave it at what you said and go on. It sounds to me like the basketball tourny this weekend is really going to put you and husband in a bind financially and would be more convenient to not have your easy child attend. I don't think I would just tell her she can't go because of her behavior, but I might tell her that, given the death wish she expressed, that you're not real inclined to bust your hiney to cover the expenses to get her there...you're not taking away basketball, you're taking away your willingness to do something nice for her in response to her being nasty to you... That's my .02. Probably about all its worth. [/QUOTE]
