[QUOTE="ksm, post: 450555, member: 12511"] back from the mall - and difficult child gravtiated towards all the tops that were not appropriate. Like strapless stuff. Even though the school has a rule that even tank tops needs to be 3 finger widths wide. Of course, she found a little open crocheted shrug (I think that is what you call it) to wear over it. I wonder how long even that would stay on? So, after much debate... scowls, "whatevers" "OMG I will never have any cute clothes!" We did find 4 tshirts and a pair of skinny jeans, and a pair of skin tight capris. Then came home and had a melt down when she and her sister was supposed to pick up their room. They were in the room for 2 minutes, then came down to watch tv. When I asked if they thought if there room was pretty good... she lost it and was sarcastically giving me lip, like: "well, it probablty isn't up to YOUR standards" When I asked if the clean clothes were put away, she stomped back to their bedroom. We really should give up the guest bedroom... and let the two girls have separate rooms. But, we have the two main bedrooms upstairs, and a smaller bedroom downstairs by itself. I don't trust her to sleep downstairs by herself. She would be up and around all night and getting on the computer and facebook. And maybe sneaking out. That means we would have to put the 11 year old downstairs by herself... and that would really upset difficult child since she is older.
