[QUOTE="WhereIsTheLight, post: 37730, member: 3673"] I have to agree with the other posts. easy child has never cussed DIRECTLY at me, but she has gotten mouthy. If she does this publicly, I give as good as I get and she shuts it down immediately. Same with difficult child. For some reason, difficult child will not tangle with me in front of her friends, and always maintains a calm exterior...like she's the parent trying to keep the situation from boiling over. With easy child, I can count on one hand how many times I've had to ground her. But easy child is smart, she heads to her room or complies with what I'm asking her to do...she may sulk, and it may take an hour or a day to get done, but she'll do it. When easy child is feeling like an argument, she always says, "difficult child gets away with this or that!" So, it is possible your easy child is testing the behaviors of your difficult child. And I always tell easy child: "you are not difficult child, and I don't expect you to behave like her...you are much smarter than that". Sure, she rolls her eyes, but it gets through and we have a harmony between us 99% of the time. The kid really validates me as a parent. If not for her, I would really think I screwed the difficult child up. [/QUOTE]
