X really is more open to negotiation than she might seem at first; she won't change her behavior just because someone asks her to, but if they're smart enough to offer her something she wants in exchange, she'll usually say "Okay."  We've seen this happen before, and of course X's mother would know her very well; it has to be galling to have your own daughter refuse to obey unless you bribe her, though.  Especially when you're only trying to get her to act for her own good!
