[QUOTE="ML, post: 59211"] My son will use that phrase as a manipulation. If he gets frustrated about something, usually not getting his way, he'll throw that out. When I calmly talk about this with him, he admits he really doesn't want to. He's been saying it since he was about 5 or 6 I guess. He's never said it in a serious way, it's always been as a manipulation or expression of frustration. For instance, the other day we were arguing (yes, he drew me into the game) and all of a sudden he says to me "well, FINE, I guess I'll just kill myself then. That would work out good for you WOULDN'T it!). I have to resist the urge to always comfort him and tell him "I'm sorry". He already blames me for everything as it is and he needs to learn to accept consequences, feelings etc. [/QUOTE]
