[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 63521, member: 3647"] Interesting question. I used to say "I would NEVER let my kid treat me like that". Here I am with a 6 year old difficult child who does just that. I cannot believe the things she says to me. I've gotten everything from her pointing to her own eyes with 2 fingers and then pointing them at me (I'm watching you) to clapping her hands twice for me and saying "chop chop" when she wants something, to repeatedly telling me NO when I ask her to do something. I've gotten the hand, I've gotten "whatever", and just yesterday, I was called a "p*ssy". And I don't mean a cat. Okay, so now me, Miss I would never let my kid treat me like that, now has a kid who people stare at when we are in public, a kid who no other neighborhood kid will play with, and yes, a kid who DOES treat me JUST like that. So what the heck do I do about it? "Tink, clean your room please." "NO!" OKay, options: 1 - yes. NO! yes. NO! yes. NO!!!!! (like beating one's head against a wall, it accomplishes nothing except elevated blood pressure.) 2 - pick up her hands and make her pick up her items in the room like I did when she was 18 months old. (Right. I can't walk to the toilet without getting winded. I'm gonna walk around her room, crouched over, making her pick up her mess. Yeah.) 3 - what? spank her? (please.) I never MEANT to have a kid who treats me like this. And she is only six. I am trying to put the brakes on it so she is not still doing it at 16. Heaven help me. [/QUOTE]
