[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 213091"] I seem to have fallen off the Tough Love wagon and I can't seem to figure out how to get back on - at least to where difficult child believes me. When my kids were younger, it was so different. I remember friends being amazed by how my kids listened (difficult child has always been more challenging she just usually does it in private). I replied of course. When I speak in this house it should be like God spoke. Ha! Teenagers will cure that. Actually, it starts about the age of 10. They were always encouraged to be individuals and creative, but with limits and boundaries. Then we went with a babysitter who is great with kids and the kids loved her, but she is very much a free-spirit and I never really was able to overcome that. The kids seemed so happy and this woman and I became close and I started to emulate her parenting technique. I mean, it was easier in the beginning to just let some things slide. However, once you lose your authority, it's much harder to get it back. [/QUOTE]
