[QUOTE="SaraT, post: 128580, member: 2270"] :pouting:I feel your pain. easy child, B, used to constantly agitate difficult child and "fight" back. I finally said if you keep it up I am not going to be responsilbe for the consquences. Well, easy child kept it up and difficult child nailed her in the nose. No permanent damage, but learned her lesson.(difficult child was duley punished for hitting, and easy child was sent to room to write, I will go to mom, 100x). I then sat down with easy child and explained that I am the only one(husband can now too) that can defuse difficult child and that arguing will only make things worse. I explained difficult child's conditions and that difficult child cannot always control herself. A light bulb seemed to go on in easy child's head. Things have been better since then, and easy child justs yells"mom", and I know to come deal with difficult child. I did have to separate them though. They now have separate rooms, this was a necessity to calm things. If you can't give older daughter her own room, maybe you can let her use your room to get away from difficult child.(ie her hiding/safe spot from difficult child). She can lock herself in and listen to music, watch tv, whatever she needs to relax. Kind of her own sanity space. Hugs [/QUOTE]
