oh yeah, i hear " i dont care" all the time! it gets me so fummin! if you find a solution let me know.

hi there i am in the same situation too, but now not just at home school too. i have been called in today to see the teacher. how can i turn things around. my support and feelings are with it, its a troubleling time

Try being a parent and quit trying to be her best friend

i never said i was her best friend, but i do like to get along with my kids.

yes me too, i wan t to have have able to feel she can talk to me etc.

my parents were always there for me when i needed to talk. We get along great! I never felt like i had to hide anything or sneak around.

OHMIGOSH!!!
I was about to post a message that would have been almost identical to yours. My 7 year old daughter even uses the exact same words. I feel like I've tried almost everything.

I understand what you mean by wanting to 'get along'. I have never tried to be my daughter's friend, but having one day without major conflict would sure be nice.

If you find anything that works, let me know. I'll do the same for you, if anything seems to help.

thank you very much. Once i figure out a way to stop it, i will fill you in:)
