[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 589514, member: 3419"] Oh, boy, does that sound familiar! One thing that I find helpful when I say NO is to walk away. Or take away the object of argument and then walk away. Outside is best, even if it's freezing cold. The bathroom tends to be the worst place, since difficult child can bang on the door and I feel trapped. I also go about my biz, such as cooking dinner, because focusing on something physical and relatively simple, such as gathering pots and pans, filling them with-water, getting veg from the fridge, etc, keeps my hands occupied so I don't strangle difficult child. ;) It's a good diversion. And last but not least, I can say, "Your phone is next." [/QUOTE]
