[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 178127, member: 3419"] You've GOT to get your husband on the same page. Until we did that, nothing worked. And it's very confusing for the kids ... especially a difficult child. You CAN block the phones, regardless whether they're on the same acct. It took me almost 4 mo's to get it straight with-my son--and it was MY cell phone he kept sneaking into his rm and playing games on!! and I wrote several letters (if you think a difficult child tests your patience, try a cell ph company rep. I think they only hire morons who read scripts). So sorry. by the way, I have redone days with-my son. By that, I mean that if I have a really crummy experience that does not fit at all with-my expectations, I do the whole thing all over again, sort of like Groundhog Day. In your case, once things calm down again, say in 3 wks., plan a day at a waterpark ALONE with-him ... no video games, no friend, nada, just the two of you. You will remain by ea other's sides the entire time except for restrooms. keep it short--maybe 3 hrs--because face it, moms are not as exciting as teen friends--and tell him that this is a day for you, because he already had HIS day. It may not work for you, but it has worked for me. :) [/QUOTE]
