[QUOTE="Ehlena, post: 313517, member: 6097"] Hey emotionallybankrupt. We confronted difficult child about his behavior today - kept very calm. Told him he couldn't earn privileges back when he treats people that way (he's already on restrictions for running away two weeks ago, instigating a 5 hr police search). We told him to do his hw and write an apology note to his teacher. Praised him with every step he took towards doing the right thing. Turns out he had no intention of doing his hw. So husband took away his Harry Potter costume and his game. Things started to get hairy. difficult child refused to stay in his room and started following husband around. husband was trying to get some work done on his computer, and despite him repeatedly telling difficult child to "back off", difficult child started standing behind him and holding a pencil like he was going to stab him (difficult child has brandished a knife at husband before). husband subdued him, and now the police are coming to talk to difficult child. This is the 2nd encounter I've had with police in 1 month. I don't so much as have a speeding ticket to my name. :frowny: [/QUOTE]
