[QUOTE="MaryJane, post: 697954, member: 20685"] My difficult child often shows no concept of common sense. Yesterday she wanted to grill a hamburger (grill is on the patio) and make frozen french fries in the oven. This task requires walking back and forth to check both items. She is going ballistic because the hamburger was burning while trying to flip the french fries. I looked at her with utter amazement and said "well you could either- turn the grill temp down or you could put the fries on top of the stove while you flip the burger". I was amazed that she could not figure that out. Then I figured it out...she wanted ME to make it and thought that if she whined and complained enough that I would jump up and say "I'll just do it". Nope, not anymore. Amnesia- My daughter constantly flips out when she does not get what she wants, when she wants it. Curses, cries, throws things, etc. Then comes back and talks to us like nothing happened. I call it "entitlement amnesia". Ironically, if I even get the tiniest bit annoyed at her- it is always "OMG what is wrong with YOU today". [/QUOTE]
