[QUOTE="busywend, post: 65193, member: 391"] Heather, this is sooo my difficult child. She gets the aches and pains, too. Of course she refuses to take a motrin, but continued to complain. Then blames me for it. I finally just started saying, "there is nothing I can do for you. If you would like me to take you to the doctor's, I will." She would always refuse that offer and walk away. Hated going to the docs! [img]:hypnosis:[/img] I am so evil! It is less often at 16, but still there. Now I just say, "it does not matter what I say, it will not be good enough for you." and walk away. I think she started realizing the truth in that because it stops her now. Maybe in her mind it is another moment she gets to consider me the worst mom in the world. I say, go for it! I had to learn to let things roll. Or have big shoulders. I have told her dad and stepmom that I know I will be the one to be blamed for her every problem as an adult, and I am ready for it. In my heart I know I did everything possible for this child and if I have to deal with the blame, so be it. [/QUOTE]
