[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're placing a lot of blame on everything else.  Where you live, the other kids, the other parent, YouTube.  You need to accept some of the blame.  You said your kid was acting like a brat all day....why did you take her to a movie and then to an arcade?!   If she was acting like a brat after the plants, you go home.

And she needs to be bored.  Kids need to be bored.  They need to learn how to entertain themselves.  Do arts and crafts, Legos , puzzles, board games....throw an at home movie day.  Bake or do fun recipes.   Go online and find activities to do at home with your kid.  [/quote]

Yeah, I’m not sure why OP is blaming everyone else. I would say divorce may be partly to blame for bad behavior.

I often think bad girl behavior comes from the mother or an older sister or both. They learn from your behavior.[/quote]

Ask yourself honestly, do you think any of this is helpful? Do you think OP posted on here hoping to get rude comments from people about how her divorce messed up her child (you have no idea why she got divorced or if it was even her choice) and that her kid is a brat because the mom is a brat. Do you hear yourself?

I'm all for people taking accountability for their actions, but you didn't even try to couch your response by saying that OP needs to examine the situation she and her daughter are in to identify the factors that could be causing this. Nope, you just said it's her fault for everything and that's that. [/quote]

I think there was some good advice in this thread. For example, divorced parents or not, it is generally not a good idea for most kids to have them in 2 activities each day after school.

In the thread, sure. In that post, no. That was the point. [/quote]
