[quote=Anonymous]Reading your account gave me flashbacks. My mom loves to talk about how defiant I was and whatnot...but she was (and still is) the most stubborn person. In the case of the tv...why don't you stop making things into a power struggle. "Larla, it's 10:30, we need to leave in 15 minutes." If she chooses to sit on the couch instead of getting ready then she'll be late. But that's on her. The plate you mentioned in OP...just repeat your request and walk away. Give her a consequence that hurts but isn't overly punitive. These are just silly battles...your daughter acting like an asshole is not a reflection on you or a sign she is going to be an awful person. It just means she's a strong-willed teenager. She's pushing your buttons because you are convienant. I can't believe you are threatening removing her from school...if she likes it and is doing well then let her stay. Trust she will not forgive you if you pull something like this. My mom and I have an OK relationship now, I love her and respect her. But I also still get angry about things she refused to bend on regarding my education. [/quote]
