[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 584129, member: 9177"] You know, it's interesting... the one thing that my difficult child has never done is cursed me out. She can be rude, mean, disrespectful, and hateful without a doubt, but no cursing. I think I know why... see, I DO curse (not AT the children at all, but there are times when I have let various words fly within their earshot). difficult child, for whatever reason, thinks that my occasional foul language is FAR worse than, say, lying or being disrespectful, which are both things that SHE does constantly. By not cursing, she then flaunts herself as morally superior to me. I've told her on MANY occasions that I'd rather hear her curse than treat people the way she does, but she just does NOT get it. She thinks that since she doesn't curse, smoke, or drink, that means that we adults in her life are the ones with the problems, and she's just a blameless victim of our evil ways because, after all, SHE doesn't curse, therefore, SHE is better than we are despite the fact that she lies, manipulates, throws toddler-esque tantrums, breaks things, is hateful and mean, disrespectful, etc. It's maddening.
