Thanks. At the moment Meagan is screaming, "bored" over and over trying to piss me off so I'll tell her to go do whatever as long as she leaves me alone.

The problem I run up against with parenting is that I've been trying to teach my kids that they aren't entitled but society (TV, teachers, other people in authority) constantly reinforce the idea that they are. It's frustrating.

The pass the blame thing pisses me off to no end. Meagan seems to think all her problems are someone else's fault (usually mine). My other kids aren't that bad but they tend to feed off of Meagan's attitude so when she's really going at it they start getting worse and worse. Otherwise they usually listen. Although right now I'm about to go postal on both Meagan and Owen.
