[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 469486, member: 84"] Next time, let yourself actually laugh out loud at it. I've done it many times, especially with Nichole. It brought her up short on how ridiculous she was being. And it let her know that her "attitude" had no effect on me. This was husband for much of his lifetime. mother in law was a major rescuer. Until I put my foot down and drew my line in the sand, husband pretty much got away with just about everything because mother in law would come to his rescue and he knew it. He did learn to do better though, much better, it's sad that it wasn't until his late 40's early 50's that he really learned it though. Katie's mom was a major rescuer too. The system has not yet caught up with Katie, I still have faith it will eventually. (karma is a witch with a capitol B) We as a family don't rescue. Katie is like the female clone of husband's worst faults made a thousand times worse by mental illness. But having lived with husband.......I know the worst thing I can possibly do for her is attempt to rescue her. I hope for your difficult child that natural consequences come into play quickly while he is young so that he learns that the real world doesn't work that way. Because it's next to impossible to get it through their head once they hit their 30's and up. Hugs [/QUOTE]
