[QUOTE="ksm, post: 540745, member: 12511"] Our 14yo drama queen difficult child has been especially dramatic this evening. I am not even sure what brought it on. But it culminated with her thinking my casserole (Trisha Yearwood's Baked Spaghetti) was awful. While it was baking she kept saying, "what smells like dog **** in here?" "Does someone have dog **** on their shoes?" I explained that maybe the parmesean cheese smelled a little stronger than usual (she likes parmesean cheese!) as I bought the shaved kind and not the powdered stuff in a jar. She proceeded to make a scene at the table, then went on a tirade about everything. Then complained that she was sick of living in a "G" rated household. Huh? Since when is that a bad thing? Then complained that she never got to spend the night with friends... (she did twice this last week) then complained well, those are just the friends we know, and why can't she spend the night with who ever she wants with out us knowing who they are and having to talk to their parents? I wrote her a long letter (as I can't say two words with out her yelling "discussion over!" or that I never listen to her... and basically told her we weren't going to lower our expectations to her level. She was going to have to rise to our expectations or suffer the consequences. I am battle worn... but standing my ground. How stupid does she think I am? She keeps saying, but you never raised a teen age girl before... this is all typical behavior. No it isn't. She knows it is over the top and admits that when she gets in a rage she says and does things that she can't control and sometimes can't remember. We see the therapist on Thursday and I told her I was going to to let her know what was really going on - since she won't be honest with her. KSM [/QUOTE]
