OK... background info. I'm 21, helping my mom out with the kids, my mom's unavailable b/c of intensive nursing school. This particular sister is unmanageable. She will stop at nothing to get her way. Today she got out of a field trip at summer camp because she didn't feel like going, last week she persuaded the counselor she was sick so I had to pick her up (she wasn't). She has MANY privileges and nice things. My idea is to just take everything away and start from scratch, I think she's spoiled. Take away cell phone, DS, computer access, Wii/xBox/TV privileges, time with neighbor friend, and everything else I can think of, until she figures out how to appreciate what she has enough to deserve extra privileges. I'm at my wit's end... I know this isn't ideal, but I don't know what to do with her. She brings out the worst in people.
P.S. I would have put this in Adolescent, but she is in grade school, and doesn't really have the maturity of an adolescent (I know that sounds ridiculous).
