[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 318158, member: 1550"] I'm really surprised so many of you are telling me to go soft on her :happy:. Maybe it's because we're comparing her to a difficult child??? I think there are some things you NEVER say and that's one of them. As for the team, she joined late (was recruited by the coach) but isn't the star of the team and the team would go on without her. The expenses are not a big deal. We don't have a lot of money, but are used to spending what little we have on the kids and normally I don't think twice about it.When I hear a comment like that I wonder, "Are we spoiling her too much?" The comment didn't make me cry, it shocked me. I don't think I'll ever hear that from her again so the chores should do the trick, plus losing her electronics. She can't handle one HOUR without her cell phone. Five days will remind her that "Um, I can't say just anything I want to say to Mom." And I'll leave it with that as long as I get an apology. This time anyway. Thanks for the great feedback. I'm open to hearing more. [/QUOTE]
