[QUOTE="P-nut2004, post: 425518, member: 11740"] *I know this is random in the middle of this thread LoL but I decided I liked the personalization of using initials for the kids so easy child 1 is K, easy child 2 is C & difficult child is L..... Insane: Its def not just a morning thing, she does it any time of day, just used this morning as an example. One of her other favorite times to annoy everyone is in the car, when we can't get away & I cant really do much to stop her. It is 'normal' for me to be driving down the road asking L to please stop while K &/or C are yelling "She's hitting/kicking/poking me etc" I do like your explanation of them pulling others down to 'level the playing field' it makes sense that she would feel powerful in that position. And of course tormenting the dogs is also her exercising power over something else, thank goodness they are all well enough behaved to tolerate it without biting. She doesn't usually hurt the dogs (not intentionally, at least I don't think so) but she will tease them, pull their tails, do the things she knows make them bark (for instance if L crawls around on the floor pretending to bark and growl Kahlua goes nuts barking and growling back at her). Obviously I do not allow this behavior and always intervene quickly but she definitely gets alot of joy out of irritating the snot out of everyone in the house and you're right it is very hard to predict it and prevent it, plus some days there is no way to actually stop her without physically placing her in her room & she doesn't even have a door I can shut to keep her in or isolate her. Uggh.... atleast this appears to be 'typical' difficult child behavior & not a sign that my child will be some sort of psychopath/sociopath that enjoys other peoples pain & suffering, which honestly is what this behavior makes me worry about, especially when L has taunted C until she's bawling and L is laughing and still not letting up.
