Don't you just love it when...
1. Your 7 year old gets so mad that instead of yelling he runs into his room and slams the door, depriving you of his company as punishment for your mean behaviour - thus giving you a "time out".
2. Your teen gets so mad at you for asking her if she went to school that day, that she threatens to move out, "just to teach you a lesson".
3. Your partner threatens to get take out if you say you don't want to cook.
4. Your teen is angry that you reminded her that she didn't do the dishes last night when it was her turn, and so punishes you by staying out late (again).
sometimes I am OK with consequences...

Hmmm... when one of our cats gets mad at us, (s)he poops on the floor or scratches the furniture. I like your consequences better.
Teens are from Uranus - hey I posted a blog with that title many moons ago! As a struggling StepMomster, I love "the looks". You know, the ones that can burn the hair off your head and leave you with that nice burnt afterglow smell? Oh, and the door slamming so hard that all your pictures of Aunt Zoetta and Uncle Zeb come flying off the wall like they are being hurled by unseen poltergeists?
how true! one of my rules is to never try to discipline a step-daughter (ie. "you're not MY mother")... I just get Eric to do it... I stick to being nice and biting my tongue as much as humanly possible.
