[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 497231, member: 8831"] stressed--i think i said it wrong with the bratty part--the magnitude of the tantrum made it look more bratlike, i didnt mean to imply SHE was being a brat. i dont necessarily think it was something even conscious...i think the response eventually spiralled into looking like it, but i think there was a very real visceral anxiety reaction to the removal of her "stuff"....thats her social outlet, and its almost like it was a very physical response to being cut off from it. its something that sounds absolutely ludicrious to an adult, but these days, kids are so tied in electronically its almost addiction like. i also still have a sneaking suspicion that it would somewhat explain complete exhaustion in the morning and marathon sleep events--you'd be amazed at what happens on line in the middle of the night. i can imagine how frustrated you feel right now, but honestly, from what you say, i dont get a sense of manipulation. (self entitlement, certainly--not for nothing, at 14, OF COURSE THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND HER! DID YOU NOT GET THE MEMO!!) i'm sure every single thing feels uber magnified for you right now--i'm so sorry for all of you. [/QUOTE]
