[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 199857, member: 1514"] Good for you! Bran...these are some responses that some of us on the PE forum came up with to keep on hand when (NOT IF!) our difficult child's decided to ambush us or bait us. It might be time for you to memorize a few of them. "Well, I'm sure you'll work it out." "That sounds like an interesting idea." "Good for you, honey!" "How are you handling that?" "How does he/she feel?" "I'll need to talk to your dad/guru/dog about that." "I don't have an answer right now. I'll do some research." "Sorry, I'm on my way out the door right now and can't talk!" "I need some time to think about that. I'll get back to you." "That must make you feel good." "That must make you feel bad." "How does that make you feel?" "What's your opinion?" "I'm so sorry, honey." "I'm sorry to hear that." "So, what are you going to do?" and one we used quite frequently: "You're a smart girl; I'm sure you'll figure something out." [/QUOTE]
