[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 396230, member: 1872"] Hi there, Well my first reaction is that easy child sounds irritable -- like biochemically irritable. Unable to keep her mouth closed -- extreme impulsivity. My gfg13 gets like this. He often seems obsessed with picking on 17, and everything 17 does seems to send him into outer space (at times I wish he would complete the journey :~) It could be the holidays. She is at a tender age and this is so unlike her (when she was easy child without the easy child/difficult child). With gfg13, I've been giving him a lot of support and asking him how we can help him through this irritability, and emphasizing the unkind and even cruel remarks he makes, which I don't believe are indicative of his true nature. I keep emphasizing kindness. We do keep up with the consequences though, as you are with your kids. Your easy child sounds like she is about 12 (or less). So something's going on that's got her dragged down to that level. Interesting in your other post that she can do what she's supposed to, and have a good talk with you, but maybe doesn't have the energy left for basic civility. She is having a rough patch. Any little visit is just too much. Could be all wet. Just brainstorming and writing the first thoughts that came into my head. Good luck. Maybe lower your expectations. Jo P.S. I've been thinking we can't underestimate the influence of the holidays on our kids. The wild undercurrent is destabilizing. [/QUOTE]
