I woke up a few min ago, unable to sleep.
I checked in difficult child's room. No difficult child.
I crept downstairs and there he was, at the computer, playing Sims.
How long would you ground your difficult child off of all electronic equip?
We have talked about this in therapy ... how difficult child is supposed to lie in bed and be bored, or read, but never, never to play any computer games or video games at night.
He has missed a lot of school this yr. I am very angry.
In a calm tone of voice, I said, "Do you understand now, why we lock up your controllers and mouse at night?"
He said yes and went straight to bed. (He took his Vistaril tonight around 6:30. He's going to be one, tired puppy in the a.m.)
by the way, I put the mouse in my bathroom, behind the maroon makeup pouch in the cabinet.
Because my chances of remembering that are pretty slim. You all have to help me out here!
