[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 420625, member: 1157"] Oh I can't tell you how many times I heard the "I haven't eaten in days" thing. Occasionally I'd respond to that by dropping off a small bag of groceries.. bread, milk, peanut butter, ramen noodles. I'm convinced that most of the time it was a ploy, though, so even that $10 spent was probably a waste. difficult children tend to "up the ante" as we begin to say no and stick to it. They think of anything and everything to push your mommy buttons. If you think back you can probably see the pattern.. you put up an appropriate boundary, say no, and all of a sudden more horrible things are happening to your difficult child. It takes lots and lots of practice.. hang in there. [/QUOTE]
