When you reminded that screeching brat that you could get released from guardianship and she could be living with strangers. The mistake you made was apologizing.
Hire an exorcist.

Eden hasn't had any boundaries, it appear, EVER. That Lowell Baldwin must be a stellar father.
The teen years are in a class all by themselves, but if the child hasn't had any boundaries established when they were little-look out.

Message: I thought that scene was pretty realistic. Eden clearly hasn't been raised with many boundaries and Michael and Lauren aren't used to dealing with a teenager. I think a certain learning curve is to be expected with all three of them.

I was SO happy when Michael said that, because it's true. EDEN is the one who should be apologizing, she is an ungrateful, selfish kid! Just because she is a teenager, it doesn't mean she can do anything she wants when she wants, as she put it! What a nerve! Then she acts all insulted that Michael called her on it!
I wish she would *hit the road.* She's even worse than Anna!

Message: Well, Bertha, I could agree, except Micharl said it in anger. If they had been sitting quietly at a table and discussing things , which Eden cannot do, that would give her a chance to respond as to which she wanted.
I think an apology for saying it in anger was necessary, but I think he ought to follow that up with the quiet talk I mentioned.
Eden is a rebellious child and really needs guidance!
