[QUOTE="ksm, post: 483378, member: 12511"] This morning we sat down and discussed what fun things we could do today. Narrowed it down to driving to two different towns - each an hour in opposite directions. We decided to go to the bigger town. That was not difficult child's first choice... but it was the majority choice. So until we left, difficult child was complaining about how we NEVER do anything she wanted to do, blah, blah, blah.But she settled down and was pretty good most the day, until the last stop before heading home. She found a top she wanted me to buy for her. It had long sleeves, but no shoulders. So basically it had no top to it... just spaghetti straps to hold it up. It won't make dress code for school , and totally inappropriate for church. She says she would wear it when she hangs out with friends and goes to parties. Duh... she has no friends and doesn't get invited to parties... but I didn't say that. I just said that it wasn't the type of clothes I wanted her to wear at thirteen.She was a total jerk for the hour ride home. I didn't even want to go in the house when we got home, I would have curled up in the car by myself to have peace and quiet. I understand young teens wanting those type of clothes... but why can't a difficult child just let a single "No" go by with out saying a hundred or more mean, negative and rude things to the rest of us in the car???We had been talking about a week at spring break and getting a condo for a week in the state next to us... but husband and I both said that if it involved that kind of verbal abuse we weren't putting ourselves in that position.
