[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here about the common areas. If she's being really snotty to her little brother or rude to me or her Dad, we ask her to go to her room. Maybe she is unusal, but she complies - generally flouncing off, but she leaves. We've sent her away from the dinner table too. I'll save her dinner if that happens but that has totalled twice and made an impact. She's a good kid, but [b]you just have to treat family members with basic courtesy[/b]. In some way we did the same thing when they were little and would whine - unless you used a normal tone you weren't getting anything.[/quote] Yes, you do -- but sometimes people don't. Some day it will occur to her, "They can tell me to go to my room, but I don't have to go." Maybe think about what you will do if that happens while she's still living at home with you.[/quote]
