[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 550687, member: 3419"] Oh, I'm so sorry! I feel for you. I would suggest 1) separating them by activities, say,one goes to the Y, the other stays home; and 2) threatening both of them if they call you at work with-anything other than the house burning down. I did that with-my easy child and difficult child and said that if they called me at work or out to dinner, they would both lose their Internet privileges and be grounded for the rest of the week. (You have to have a history of following through to make this work.) It worked, mostly. There will always be bad times, but that may take out a big chunk of the fighting and getting you involved. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
