[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 515852"] difficult child 1 doesn't make the connection either. He's played soccer for 7 years. This year he decided to join Boy Scouts. Ok, no problem.....except he wants to go on ALL the activities they do which is $20 here and $60 there. When I tell him I can't afford something, he complains about ME being so poor....not realizing that he cannot be left alone or even worse, be left with his brother (WWIII?). Soccer registration was due last week and he's decided not to do soccer this year (they have scholarships to help with cost) because he wants to use that money for scouting activities (they do NOT have scholarships). He doesn't realize there is a difference. He wants what he wants and there's no reason why he shouldn't be allowed to. Sorry, now that I read this, I realize I confused myself. Sorry if it confuses you too. Anyway, when you find the answer to their logic and how to change it, let me know. Mine are twins and difficult child 1 totally does not get why difficult child 2 (obsessively responsible) can do things he can't. Every explanation I give him is ME putting him down....so he says. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
