[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 126346, member: 1514"] Its very hard. Looking back with hindsight being 20/20 I would have probably sent Miss Drama Queen to her room the minute she started in with her mess. However before you do all this I think you need to take a calm moment and come up with some fairly simple house rules and consequences that you can stick to at a moments notice. Things such as: No running or horseplay in the house. No cussing or yelling at anyone. We will all treat each other with respect. No stealing or borrowing each others items without asking. No being away from home without permission. Then set the consequences in stone. If one of them is screaming and cussing...the consequence can be getting sent to their room or to a designated area to cool off for a certain amount of time and process what they did wrong. You get the idea. Now...go over this whole thing with them and post it in a prominent place so when they act up, you can quickly refer to the chart and not have to fly by the seat of your pants for a consequence.
