[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 640189, member: 15473"] I guess the word isn't advice. I tend to throw out thoughts. My difficult child won't take advice either. So I don't give it. I just make a comment with the thought I had in it at some random time. Silly stuff like driving down the street and saying "oh look at that car that color reminds me of your comforter". I'm not advising her on what color to paint the room just subliminally hinting that the color might work. Trust me it so subtle she doesn't get her hackles up but at the same time it might get through and make her pick a wall color that goes with the comforter. I do the same thing with more important things. Unless it is something I feel needs an immediate response I just keep making those random comments. She will either get it or she won't. If she doesn't it isn't my fault. I made the point of giving her the hints she has to learn to take them or not. [/QUOTE]
