[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 510269, member: 1722"] DF~ i feel sorry for difficult child, in a way. It must be tough to not have any friends to hang with over a long weekend, but I suspect that it's a consequence of her poor choices. :( I find the only effective way to deal with passive aggressive behavior is direct confrontation because it takes away the passive aggressor's power and control. I'd give her one pass, just in case you misinterpret what she saying. Don't react negatively. But, if it is passive aggression, she will try again... that's when you lay into her with full ferocity and give her a negative consequence. Trust me, it'll clear the air for some time to come and is far better than the rest of family having to walk on eggshells for an entire long weekend or break. Susie... I do that whisper. It is most effective. The only caveat is that it must be used sparingly. [/QUOTE]
