[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haha! This post is funny to me. My 7 yo is very mean, disrespectful and rude at home (tells us to shut up, get out of her room, says "not happening" when we want her to eat or get a bath or go to bed, and hits her father and sister) but in public or at school she is an absolute angel. So, I am sure if I complain about her bad behavior, they do not believe me or think I am a bad Mom. But, really, she will be so sweet in public and as soon as we get in the car, she pulls my seat belt hard so it chokes around my neck while laughing gleefully. WE are working on a behavior chart with her and are trying hard to spend more attention doing things with her without any interruptions or no phone and it seems to work sometimes. I feel bad for this Mom.[/quote]
She is acting out at home...I suspect you know why. If she was truly mean, rude and disrespectful, she'd be that way at school, too. Don't give up on your child. Dig deep and give her what she needs.[/quote]

Yeah, she acts out because she is the baby and has gotten her way and has been allowed to get whatever she wanted for years. We were the parents who set no boundaries and did whatever she wanted. We did not even allow for her to cry or sleep alone as a baby. We did this. Once school started, she came home with a lot of stuff she saw kids doing at school and we never punished her for this behavior. It has gotten way worse this past year, so we started going to family therapy. She has everything she needs plus 1,000 and is spoiled and waited on hand and foot. She never even set foot in a day care and my husband stays at home to make sure she has someone home in case she gets sick, to pick her up from school, and to help her with reading/homework or take her to sports after school.

Thanks but she is well taken care of. We just need to gently introduce boundaries, put our foot down at times and tell her no. [/quote]
