The Brat has had a falling out with her dad ::) - this has been going on for a few weeks ::) . She is due to go to his this weekend and is bloody well going evil:
I tried to talk to her yesterday about resolving the argument - she admits it was her fault but because he 'allowed ' her to strop off back home at 9.30 at night and wouldn't give her any bus fare - thus putting her life in imminent danger as it was a half hour walk etc etc etc .....give her an Oscar ::) ...she is not budging Banghead
I have also tried talking to her dad yesterday and explaining what her thoughts were...he resorts back to her actions which caused the initial argument , which absolutely were not acceptable , and he is not budging Banghead
I lost it with both yesterday and as both are as stubborn as each other and can sort it out yourselves this weekend.
I was explaining to madam that I thought she was the most stubbornest person I know .....and her retort was " how do you know , how can you measure stubborness ...that's just a stoopid statement " Explode:

Praps she takes after you angel1

I'm really not stubborn and actually hate arguing . redface:

At that age they have an answer to everything. Regrettably logic doesn't come into the equation.
Yes her father was perhaps a bit careless in sending her to walk home late at night but he too probably acted in anger.
As for how do you measure how stubborn a person is ~ you can only judge against your own willingness to compromise and then look around at others you know to make a judgement.
She may be the stubbornness person you know but the THW would give her a good run for her money. evil:

Maybe we could arrange a THW v. Brat argument. I'd pay. :thumbsup:

Last night Woodstock and I were discussing the kids. She usually looks to me to supply answers on the grounds that I have raised a family before and must therefore have previously come across whatever problem we have. I felt obliged to point out that all kids are different and unfortunately it is trial and error with each one.
I stoopidly went on to add "Unfortunately they don't come with an instruction manual"
Her reply?
"You wouldn't read it if they did"
Sadly I had no answer to that. redface:

I suggest Mrs DS #2 would wipe the floor with all of them.
She could start an argument in an empty room.

#2 not #3.
#2 is a dim and bitter memory.

Mrs Snoopy#1 had a habit of having arguments with me in my absence. We would have huge rows that I knew nothing about.
Everything she wanted to say was rehearsed, my every reply was anticipated so when I eventually arrived home I would be greeted with
"AND ANOTHER THING"
I never knew what we were arguing about or what I had done wrong. Hard to defend....... It got so I just turned round at the door and went to the pub as soon as she started, staying there until fairly certain she would be asleep.

Ackchooly I was mocking Snoopy, but you nipped in in front of me.
