Oh, I really like Shadow Riderer's idea. I do that with my daughter when we're going round in circles. 'I love you' will always get her to at least pause for a moment and think. Sometimes she'll come back with even more absurd things like 'I think you love the dog more than you love me.' And I respond, I love you more, you're way cuter than the dog. She'll usually walk away shaking her head realizing she's not getting very far with me at that particular time.

I think that both of my kids and sometimes my husband do/say things to provoke a reaction from me. Sometimes, okay, they get a reaction, but lots of times I will ignore or do that 'I love you' thing.

Thanks for the support guys. It's days like this when I want to bury my adoption. I hope one day my sister will see the light.... I also know that I will never take her back unless a sincere apology is given. She may have alienated the only full sister she'll ever have.


( we also have a full brother, who was placed for adoption as well. I sincerely hope that poor child never finds us... I pray he stays as far away as he can.)

I wish I could get rid of some of that guilt for you - so you could just go sit on her head or pull her hair or something like a big sister should be able to do to such an annoying selfish little hater!
