[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 43999, member: 3647"] I think he will know you for real if you SHOW you are for real. Big props to DWfor sticking to her guns as long as she did, but to be truthful, she undid everything she just did by giving him the money afterwards. In essence, it is like a kid crying for candy, being told "no, you can't have it" for 10 minutes, and then getting it anyways. The kid just learned that if he cries long enough, he will get his way. He probably drove to school snickering. KLfd had a point, as inconvenient as it would have been, it would have meant a ride from a parent, in complete silence. Perhaps in a robe and curlers. THAT would have gotten the point across too. Or, let HIM figure out a way to get to school. What? He skipped school? Oh well. He faces the consequences. Tough love is TOUGH. Unfortunately, you need to let go of trying to control whether or not he comes to your meeting in full blown ODD or not. You need to get your point across. Hope I made sense. [/QUOTE]
