[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 183838, member: 3626"] There was one rule that was pretty sacrosanct in my home -- if you are asked something civilly, a civil response is expected. (Anything said while upset didn't count.) You can't be polite, I have no reason to do somethng for you. Sorry, but I would have put the flat iron down and walked off. It took mine a little while and few times of me quitting whatever I was doing but she did learn that a simple, "I'm sorry but I'm not much in a mood to talk right now. Can we discuss this later?" worked wonders. She could get snarky with her friends and teachers, but I could think of no reason why she needed to be rude to maintain her privacy. You're much too kind to your princess. Hope she learns to truly appreciate you. [/QUOTE]
