Arte - there I was thinking you'd avoided GD this time cos you'd been so good with your diet !! Enjoy!

Jazah - if it's any consolation we went thru a phase like this with DD1 - just remember you are giving her all the constructs to be a good, kind, compassionate person like yourself, eventually it will kick in. Trust me you will catch a glimpse of it soon. In the meantime, a 'stand still and look at me while i'm talking to you' policy (enforced with a chart with rewards & consequences) might help. PS we went through a lying and stealing phase with DD1 and it's something I still have to work on. She knows honesty is the best thing but sometimes I need to point out to her how omitting or covering up the truth is also a form of lying. It's a part of growing up. You would only be a bad parent if you didn't care enough to make the effort to deal with it, kwim?
