[QUOTE="Andy, post: 370866, member: 5096"] My Diva is also much like Bean 1 thinking that we will always meet what she preceives as her needs. And amongst the nasty attitude she will demand that we do something such as give her a ride to an interview. Her worst years were 14 yrs - 18 yrs old. When she was at her absolute nastiest (about 17 yrs old), I would also stand my ground and tell her, "You are not to ask ANYTHING of me until you can be nice to me for one month." Being nice meant the whole yard of respectful attitude and words, not just stop cussing/yelling. Ignoring me would not count. Whenever something came up, I would repeat that and as she started sharing her favorite cuss word I would tell her that the month was starting over. The first time I gave her one month which took her about 3 or 4 to live up to. After that I may have changed it to a week and it took about 3 to 4 weeks the first time at that level. So, I turned my back on her. I don't allow others to treat me like that and if husband ever even considered it he would be out of the picture so fast so why should she be allowed to? She has come around - still has a moment now and then but life is getting better as my signature indicates she hates me less and less each day. We ended up working the same area at our local fair for nine hours (nice conversations) and she still wanted to go to a town an hour away with me the next day. Progress!!! :) [/QUOTE]
