[QUOTE="troubled, post: 427451"] I guess your difficult child figured it couldn't hurt to ask. He's probably used to hearing no but I think a lot of these kids think they may catch you in a good mood and you will (in a moment of sheer insanity) give them what they want. I know my difficult child is like that, too. She figures that if I'm being nice or even just civil, I am weakening to her charm (!) and she will go in for the kill. If only they would direct all that manipulation and cleverness into getting a good job or education.. sigh. Mine sent me a day late homemade postcard from jail, which of course was prompted only by my sister asking difficult child on Saturday if she was going to send me one. I was not too impressed but I'll take any positive gesture that I can get from difficult child right now. [/QUOTE]
