[QUOTE="Fran, post: 274105, member: 3"] I would be very clear to difficult child if she does "x" then "z" is the consequence. Black and white description so it is clear. Your son and his fiance shouldn't have their day ruined by a tantrum or craziness. This is the one day that it isn't about difficult child since we know how they **** the life out of a room and bring all the attention to them. If son and fiance agree to have her do something so she is involved in the wedding. Maybe with a special dress that is the same color family as the bridesmaids she will want to act adult. If she decides to go difficult child then she is out of there. However, I would role play with difficult child on what to do, how to greet and what to say and how she wants to present herself. It will help difficult child to have a dialogue or plan with the social niceties that are difficult for them to navigate. I understand that in a very public social situation where you and husband will be hostessing your side of the family, you want to minimize the chance of difficult child putting herself in an embarassing situation. So much of our easy child's lives have been a footnote to their difficult child's sibling. It is not unreasonable to want one's wedding day without difficult child drama. Hopefully, son and future d i l will want to be open to the possibilities. Wait until the other side of the family's difficult child is the one to carry on. [/QUOTE]
