Does your child get a hold a something and won't let it go or drop? This is what I mean. Tiff will hear something and won't let it drop until you give her an answer. If someone calls for me, she wants to know what they wanted. If I say it is none of your concern, she will say "tell me, tell me, tell me." Again I will tell her it is not her business. She will continue to ask until I get really upset or just tell her.
She has this type of behavior all the time with all sorts of stuff. This morning, it was vending machine money for camp. I told her that I wasn't going to give her 1 or 2 dollars everyday for junk. If I say I don't have it, she goes in my purse and then change purse and then she goes through her purses, trying to find change.
That is why I have named this "Dog With a Bone Syndrome." They just won't let it go with the first answer.

You found the perfect name for it! Yes, my son is exactly the same way. I know that I have to be firm and consistent enough for him to learn that no means no and its not negotiable, but I almost always end up giving in just to shut him up.

It is horrible to have to give in to get them to drop it. She did it yesterday when my mother called me around 7am to tell me that she didn't think my grandmother would make it through the day. Tiff wanted to know why she called and why she didn't want to speak to Tiff. I told her she didn't need to know, that it wasn't something she needed to worry about. I didn't want her to worry all day at camp. She kept on and kept on and kept on until I told her and then she said ok and went onto the next thing.
