alice, you poor thing- i'd be devo tooo i agree with the other words adn as our kids grow unfortunaltey they are going to be influenced by negative words adn situations not just at home at scholl with freinds etc.

you are doing teh right thing by time out etc. you DD is old enough to know she hurt you and aplogise. big hugs.

KRisp- big hugs to you too- It's so hard to hear that from your child ( i cant pm anymore since the upgrades not sure why)Good on you for recongiseing that you need to speak to your DH with more respect - it's hard more so when kids are involved
