[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 426491"] Jena, I think you handled that situation quite well. And any 18-year-old who blows sky-high like that simply because she (quite deservedly) received no tangible birthday gift, other than quality time with Mom and sister, should not be invited or permitted back into the house for quite some time. It seems entirely apparent that the only reason she came over was her expectation of a gift, and when she didn't get the gift she wanted, she threw this titanic and hate-filled tantrum. That is not someone who should be welcomed back into the house (especially for difficult child's sake, as well as your own) for a lengthy period of time--i.e., until she has shown by her sustained behavior that she can behave in a civilized manner. As I posted earlier in another thread, it's important to levy consequences for vile misbehavor (rather than just pretending it didn't happen), and what she did today demands a proportional and logical consequence: "if you behave like that in my house, you are barred from my house."
