[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 688444, member: 1550"] I would just say "no." No is a complete sentence. If she screams and yells like a little kid, use your discipline of choice. We never had a lot of money so it was easy to say no. My kids all knew that. By the teen years they did ask for things, but not as much as other kids and all of them, except my autistic son, got part time jobs in high school. They all have a good work ethic, even autistic son. I totally believe that putting up with yelling, which I did with a few of my kids when they were younger, makes even difficult I kids harder workers and less entitled. Some of my kids gave me problems at various times, but none expect somebody else to pay their bills. I swear by making kids work for their own stuff. Or just live without it. Mine found ways to make money. Free money was never going to happen and they knew it. [/QUOTE]
