[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 41726, member: 3647"] Oh I am on the same sheet of music with ya. Pixie pulls the same stuff with me, but with her, it's not like she can control it anywhere but in my house. She can control it any time unless I am PRESENT. She can spend the weekend with my mom and be an absolute angel, and as soon as I show up, she flips. I addressed this with her psychiatric. He told me that this was part of the ODD, the saving it all for me, because I was the "safe" one. It still didn't explain why she didn't so this with anyone else, but what he said made sense. She has done this since she was 2, and in my opinion, too young to manipulate. It took a long LOOOONNNNG time for me to come to terms that this is just the hand I have been dealt. I don't fault her for it, but I handle each meltdown as it comes. My mom thinks I am way too lenient with Pixie, that I have too many things in my C basket. Perhaps I do. But I had almost everything in the A basket with Basset Hound. That never worked. There is a lot less stress this time around. A lot more meltdowns based on her personality, but a lot less stress.
