[QUOTE="Kali, post: 59530, member: 2373"] Oh Marg, just your reply alone has given me so much hope. I'm digging through the books tonight, if I can't find it I will buy it, we are leaving on vacation Monday so it's a perfect time to read. I'm positive I have it now because there was a blurb I distinctly remember reading on Amazon. Your post, and then the evening we had today have me in tears. All day was brat kingdom... then tonight she tried on clothes for our trip (she got a bunch of new ones for her b-day this past weekend), this normally is not fun... but today she was all excited because most of it fit (normally things fall right off of her and they need to be fixed) and she said "mom, this is JUST like a fashion show" I then shared with her stories of my friends and me doing fashion shows at sleep overs and stuff when I was her age. We had a good conversation with no attitude for the first time in a long time. I can't even begin to tell you how much this child demands, she is 10 years old and I still can't keep a clean house when she is here, she is like a tornado it is unreal. Thank you for taking the time out to really respond to me. I think I have this idea in my head that ODD children are in juvinille homes or constantly suspended from school and I sit there and I go that isn't my kid, or they have HUGE problems with authority and I say "that isn't my kid"... however I'm starting to realize that is part of it sometimes and sometimes it is my kid just not that bad (as in juvi, and suspensions ect... for lack of something better to say).
