[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 25716, member: 393"] I really had to stop myself from "stomping" all over kt's statements this morning. I was very gentle in reminding her that you give to get. To receive respect you need to give the same. kt is really struggling to figure out who she is; in this family, as a person & in coming to terms with her adoptive status & her bio family. AND she is always thinking of the "easy" way out for choices she makes. We took this time to work out a plan for her frustration - to practice taking "stop & think" time. As a mom, I really just wanted to stomp all over kt's proclamation of a teenager's entitlement to be rude & obnoxious. It seems I'm out of practice with the day by day things children, as a whole, difficult children in particular, throw your way on a daily basis. Time to grease up the old brain!
