I mean if she is really young meh, may set her off. But If she is over 9 , trust me the kid is too focused on her friends to notice. -------------------- Mya 7-1-00

I mean I understand for your niece to be disappointed, but I don't get why you're afraid SIL will "dispose" of you? That's an overreaction, in my opinion, of course. -------------------- Mom to: CJ 7.03, Alexis 10.09, Taylin 5.11, and Emma and Issac 4.12. Expecting our last baby Liam Jacob in April 2013.

If she throws a fit..she throws a fit. Don't back down. Once she realizes that her petty fit throwing isn't going to make you do everything she wants anymore she will chose her battles more wisely. The worst that could happen is she throws a fit and stops talking to you....Would that be such a bad thing? -------------------- Brianne Wife to Leithan and mommy to Mckaylee (4) and Russell (3) Click here to help us grown our village http://schwartzville.myminicity.com/

oh i know. that OP was just me trying to be funny and lighten my situation. I know I have to make a stand and say enough is enough. She throws fits all the time, gets negative comebacks from it but do you think it make her choose her battles more wisely...nope! She chooses to continue or make the fits worse. I always say we need to say enough This is our life, our family our desicions. Yes we will make mistakes but those will be ours that we make and learn from. And everyone says yes i know(MIL, Marcus, etc) but then never does it. Its like they dont want to tick off the beast! Or else your life will be heck for a loooong time! Its sad yes I admit we think we have to work around her fits. Its makes me mad. BUT again that something I need to fix and marcus as well. The only person in the family that will not take her crap and will not let her fits change how he feels is marcus and his sisters step dad! He says she either lives with it or not... her decision.... We really need to learn from him!
