You would think that after being my daughter for 8 years she would learn that I don't negotiate with terrorists  . Why is it that she wants to argue about everything? If I pick out a pair of pants for her in the morning..she has to argue about how much she doesn't like them even though they were the pants she picked out. If I tell her to clean up..it was never her even if I saw her doing it with my own eyes. If I say its white..she says its black....She argues about the stupidest stuff too...  |

| I think it's more of a personality thing than a girl thing. Olivia has periods of time when she gets into this mode. Not only do I not negotiate with terrorists, I don't engage in conversation with them, either. It usually nips it in the bud pretty quickly. On the upside . . . .maybe they'll be successful attorneys someday!  |

| NOT a girl thing! Will has been in this horrible stage for about 4-5 months now.... he'd argue with anything I say, even if what I'm saying is beneficial to him! I can not wait for this stage to be over... of course what comes next may be even worse! LOL |

| I dont even fight mya about that junk anymore. I say you wanna go out looking like you just got released from an insane asylum you go on ahead. or I'll give it to her full steam (but that is only if she really pushes which isnt often. ) |

| Kylie questions EVERYTHING I say. I could say the sky is blue and she'll say "Why? I think the sky is black". KWIM? Drives me batty!!! I swore I would never say "because I said so", but I find myself doing it all the time! |
