[QUOTE="slsh, post: 208109, member: 8"] Personally, I agree. After years with thank you, my pcs get it when I say "if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" - code for they'd better shape up or they will be losing priveleges. I wouldn't take it *all* away necessarily - but I'd go for her prized luxuries (unless she takes off this evening, in which case I would go for it all - but I'd warn her that there will be consequences if she leaves your home). It's essential you follow through on this if you start it. A word of warning though, especially if easy child gets that you haven't always been real consistent in following thru with consequences before - I would anticipate that things will get worse before they get better in terms of her attitude, anger, and mouth. You need to be prepared for all kinds of tween-ness. And I would make sure that husband is onboard with you - if he's going to interfere, you've lost before you've started. Next time she threatens to call DCF, hand her the phone and phonebook and tell her to have a blast. Why kids think DCF is something to threaten us with is beyond me, but... call her bluff. Sorry she's testing you so! [/QUOTE]
