[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 644342, member: 1550"] Oragami....lol....yes. If they don't get what they want they just keep arguing, and their point is to make us feel guilty so that's what they try to do. "I won't do my laundry. I'll just stink. But then DON'T EXPECT ME TO BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR A JOB." Answer: "Ok." "You don't care? You just said I had to get a job. Are you changing your mind now?" "No." "You're so screwed up. YOu don't know what the hey you want. It's you're fault I'm in this mess." (I wouldn't answer to this sort of accusation) difficult child gets in your face: "I'M TALKLING TO YOU! DON' T YOU DARE IGNORE ME, YOU (choose the word). You: (looking straight into his eyes) If you don't back up and calm now, I will have to call 911 and you will have to leave the house. I am dead serious." (Go for your phone.) Yes, I've had a conversation like this with my son. He backed off, mumbling some unflattering words about me, but it really threw him. He'd expected me to explode at him or give him a format to argue with him so he could gain ammunition. [/QUOTE]
