There's nothing else I can do since we live with my folks. Any loud shouting and My Sainted Mother comes dashing out of her room - she distracts me just long enough for my daughter to stomp off to her room. A day of reckoning is well on the way, though.

It's easy to give your power away, especially to someone who you love/loves you. It's much harder to reclaim it. Bizarrely, Ive gotten better about holding onto my power by reading babycenter.com's Dealing with the InLaw's thread. Ive discovered after several several months of reading it, that Im less likely to let ANYONE run me over - even with little things. Even with my family and my husband (who, bless him, is usually really good about stuff like that, but he is male, and therefore, kinda dumb sometimes.) How are you going to go about dealing with your daughter? What a very true post, all the way through. It’s easy to give your power away, especially to someone who you love/loves you.
