[QUOTE="Mitzi Paws, post: 151274, member: 5149"] I guess I need to vent. I got up this morning with killer cramps and came down stairs. difficult child was on the couch watching tv. I made a list of things for her to do today since she hasn't done much to help out this week because she has been pretty busy. Right away she shuts down and starts telling me how she won't do any of it and it is too much to do. Now this list would have probably taken her a total of an hour max. I told her she had all day to do it but could not play with freinds until it was all done. So she didn't do anything for about an hour. Then my other daughters boyfriend came over which always causes fireworks with difficult child because she and he do not get along. Within 10 minutes of him coming in the house a huge fight starts. I am upstairs, unable to come down when the yelling starts and so my husband comes in from outside and "escorts" difficult child out into the garage because she would rather stay in and fight. So, here we are out in the garage, me my husband and difficult child. difficult child is raging out of control throwing things including her fists at us.
