[quote=Anonymous]I think teaching your kids to say "Thanks but Mom and Dad said I can wear this/look fine/can go here" is going to be useful for them. Teach them to assert boundaries. For you, when she answers a question you've been asked just wait for her to finish speaking and then say "Actually I'm making broccoli and rice pilaf with the chicken." "Actually we're dropping Bianca off first and THEN going ice skating." If she tells an adult what to do in their own home, I think they're fine to ignore her and just carry on as they would. If she goes to follow you into a room you can gently close the door while saying "No Mom, this is a conversation I need to have with Katie alone right now. Excuse us," and then shut the door in her face. [/quote]
