[QUOTE="JKF, post: 598602, member: 12470"] I'm very diligent too DDD and sometimes I actually have to force myself to back off a bit and give him more freedom. But it seems like unless I'm on him constantly he always makes the wrong choices. Always! It's so frustrating. He's a good kid but can be impulsive and is starting to be sneaky about things. He knew I was in the pool so he used that moment to his advantage to sneak off. Well now he's in bed for the evening. He knew the rules and the consequences and he chose to do what he wanted anyway. So bed it is. I just hope the girl didn't break her finger. I will feel really bad bc tomorrow's the last day of school and she's really big into martial arts, etc. easy child/difficult child keeps saying it's not his fault she got hurt. I calmly explained to him that no - he didn't purposely hurt her but by not following the rules and taking off he inadvertently contributed to her accident. If he hadn't been there when he wasn't supposed to be, he wouldn't have left his helmet and she wouldn't have had to bring it back to him. I told him it's like a domino effect. One bad decision can set off a chain of events and sometimes people get hurt along the way. That really seems to have sunk in with him. And yes Signorina. Tomorrow is definitely a new day. Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes I get so caught up in the moment that I forget to remember that it's just that - one moment in time. [/QUOTE]
