[quote=Anonymous]Why are you acting like "Daddy Disney"?  Why are you constantly taking her to do fun things centered around her? Plants, movie, AND Chuckee Cheese all in one day? Movie arcade AND dinner all in one day?

OP, pace yourself! You are really feeding into her sense of entitlement. I can't even tell you how many hours I spent following my dad around hardware stores being bored on weekends, and rushing through the chore list my mom drew up so I could go read or dance around to music as a kid. The household did not revolve around me and/or my brother.

You've ignored bad behavior for years, but now are blaming screens and her dad and her school - everyone but your own parenting. You have dropped the ball. You need to change your parenting. Tell her that from now on no screens while at your house and that it's not a punishment but a technique to help her have better behavior and this is not up for debate. In addition, from now on she has to earn going to do fun things by having good behavior - no whining, no fits, being helpful and pleasant, etc.

Give her less, so she can appreciate more. [/quote]
