[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 498196, member: 2211"] This has happened with my difficult child also. It's difficult, but I usually don't do anything. Then, when she makes contact again and suggests we get together, I will say something like, 'We should make a date this time'. Sometimes a comment like that will **** her off and other times it will make her think and hold her accountable. If it peeves her and she says something snotty, I will go back to her with what I feel is just plain honesty and common courtesy: 'I'd love to meet you for lunch, but if you blow me off, I could be doing something else, Know what I mean??' You don't want to be tiptoeing around her, but you don't want to go out of your way to **** her off. If a friend, cousin r sister did this to you, how would you respond? In a kind manner, of course, but you'd also let it be known that you're not a doormat either. Hugs, it's tough. [/QUOTE]
