[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you give an example of how you ask her to do things? My mom used to yell at me to do it. Or the second time she would yell at me and maybe call me a name or two (lazy, sloppy, clumsy). I’m not saying you do this, but when I ask my kids to do stuff like clean up the dishes, I ask as politely as possible and in as few words as possible. “Can you please bring in your plate?” “Larla, plate”. And if she doesn’t then the next day it’s still sitting there and I can’t get her breakfast in a dirty kitchen. Hugs op. [/quote] I appreciate this, I'm definitely not yelling, I ask nicely because I am trying really hard to talk to her in the way that I would like her to talk to me. She's just defiant and it's frustrating!! I hadn't thought about that last part though, about just leaving her plate.[/quote]
