[quote=Anonymous]Don't over-explain it to her. The more you talk about it, the more she'll argue with you or otherwise say provocative things. Just change your behavior. And be consistent. Again, you don't need to justify it to her or anyone else. You're the parent. As for her talking back about it, I literally wouldn't respond. Just let it fall flat. Silence speaks VOLUMES in this case. (Responding signals to her that the issue is up for discussion. It's NOT. So don't respond to her commentary - your silence is a great signal that what she's saying has no influence on the situation.) Finally, changing the situation is more about YOU than it is about her. Remind youreslf that this is not a democracy. You do not need her consent to change your behavior and expectations does not require consensus. Your DD is 10. You're the parent. Be the parent. Good luck. You've got this![/quote]
