[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 134931, member: 3647"] Yup. Tink LOVES to up the ante too. She calls my bluff. I agree with TM that the more matter-of fact you are, the less of a control thing it becomes. To them, anyways. If I harp on her over & over to do something, yes, that is when she is the most defiant. She digs in her heels. If I tell her once, and she says no, she does not want to do it, I can offhandedly remark "fine, don't. But remember, if you don't do X, you can't do/get/see Y" and walk away. Then it is up to HER.
