it is probably typical difficult child/teen behavior, but she actually thinks every thing revolves around her! OK - you guys probably have the same things to deal with. She was gone for a week and came home yesterday. Things were actually pretty good most the day. At dinner time, she yells at easy child, "Why are you mad at me??" easy child says she wasn't mad. difficult child then says, "well then, why when I went to sit down you pushed my chair away from you?" easy child: "because I was trying to sit down and your chair was too close. I had to move it to get to my chair".
Other encounters... difficult child thought easy child had played with her iPod while she was gone for the week. Before she left, difficult child and I put it in a linen closet drawer and it was covered up. When she gets home, she goes to gets it, turns it on, and the battery was dead. SO... she says easy child must have gotten it and played with it. I asked her why she thought that and she said, "it had a charge when I put it in here last week, and now it won't turn on". easy child has her own iPod, didn't even know where hers was... but because of the "evidence" she just "knew" easy child had done it.
If easy child hums a song... it is only to irritate her. If she plays a music box, it is only because easy child knows she doesn't like it, and on and on. Everything we do is because of her!! So I guess the laws of physics don't exist because the world revolves around her! Frustrating... but we try to help her see that there are other reasons things happen. KSM
