It's been coming for awhile now, Duckie has been getting wound pretty tight lately. And tonight was the night. :rolleyes: She was warned that her bedroom door would be closed if she fooled around rather than settle right down for bed. She fooled around, I shut the door, she raged for nearly an hour. She threw stuff & screamed epithets at me through the door and pleaded with her father to save her, lol. :hammer:

I was threatened that she would:

-run away

-call 911 (who teaches them to call 911 on their parents! :devil:)

-say bad words

-have a miserable life & it would be my fault

-lose her voice and it would be my fault

-throw stuff until the door broke

-tell everyone what a bad & mean mommy I am

-break my computer

-cut my hair while I sleep so I look as stupid as I really am (I'll hide the scissors before bed, lol! :smile:)

-never hug me again

Then she tried to negotiate, she would:

-go right to sleep if I opened the door

-be good for me

-listen for once :smile:

-maybe even be quiet once in a while :rofl:

Then she pleaded some more with husband, didn't he know that she was:

-hot from crying

-sad from being treated so badly by mommy

-hurt & scared that he didn't help her

-thirsty from having to yell so much (she had water in her room)

-really upset and wanted me to sleep on the couch so she could sleep with him


Fortunately, husband didn't cave in. I even had him redirect her back to bed when she opened the door and tried to come out. She was broken-hearted that he didn't side with her. :crying: Like I said, this has been coming for awhile. Hopefully it will be out of her system rather than a spiral downward. Ugh! :thumbsdown:
