[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 349681, member: 3419"] Well, several people here have suggested that I give difficult child limited access to a computer so that he isn't totally driven to get what he can't have. That's our current plan. We make him earn his electronics. He does the minimum amt of work, then zones out on his PSP, PS2, computer, CD player, Ipod, phone, ANYthing he can get his hands on. He'll even sit in my car and listen to the radio. It doesn't work. I'm worried that he'll never hold a job because he'll be so engrossed in all that stuff, he will forget to go in. I've told him to get a job at an electronics store when he's 16. Doesn't want to. We'll see about that. Anyway, poor husband is going to be sleep deprived today ... [/QUOTE]
