[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 403349, member: 6705"] I still think Onyxx would make a great lawyer... If she can get past the interesting verbiage. I tossed the kids' rooms into Basket C. Probably forever. Hers more so - I mention it every so often, but it's more messy than dirty. I let her know messy is okay, filthy is not. Problem is, she tries to apply this to everything. She doesn't call, goes somewhere, we have no idea where she is, but she has a "good reason". We laid down the law - you don't get a response from at least one of us, the answer is no. You do it anyway, you're grounded. THAT, is Basket A until she no longer lives here. She gets in trouble at school? No problem! The teacher hates her. And if we don't agree? Eggshell time... I'm [I]not[/I] looking forward to seeing grades. We're not so good at compromise with her - because she does not want to. Jett is easier. "We can't go to Wal-Mart tonight, but tomorrow we can. Will that work?" Yup. Her? "NO! I [B]HAVE[/B] to go tonight!" (I am so tempted to say, someday... "Then walk.") L&L works much better on Jett than Onyxx. L&L is great - would have worked great on me - but Onyxx is rather [B][I]il[/I][/B]logical... [/QUOTE]
