[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 350034, member: 1872"] You're doing good Terry. Good that you woke your hubby up. I have learned that the more I protect my husband, the more he lets me protect him. Who wouldn't? Nobody protects me. (I'd protect you if I could). I'm with Trinity on the locks. We had a fingerprint lock installed on the attached garage. It's a great place to stash untouchables. Also had to key/lock our bedroom, husband's office, my sacred room. We're also key/locking the upstairs bathroom for when (if) gfg16 comes home from juvie. We are currently computer-free and video game-free. There was too much fighting, sneaking, and illicit activity. It just wasn't worth it anymore!!!!Of course gfg16 is in juvie now but gfg12 is still computer and vide0-game free. He is failing all his classes and had developed encopresis, which he has made a nice recovery from, but still occasionally poops his pants when involved in an absorbing video game. Bummer! Do I sound jaded? You bet. But i am still laughing as I type this. On my laptop. Which I keep locked up. Hugs Terry. Be firm!! Follow your gut. Don't try too hard to be fair to everyone -- that never works. Put yourself first most of the time. Seriously!!! Things will get a little better then. Jo P.S. Locking up the house cost $600.00. We called a lock place. Had some kind of a lock put on the slider door of the deck too, to block entry into the garage that way. We told the lock guys why -- we had untrustworthy kids -- and they walked around the whole house with us evaluating each room and whether it needed a key lock. It is a PITA -- we have to carry the keys around but so worth it. I also like Trinity's pouch idea with all the remotes. This is a great idea. The only drawback I can think of is -- what are they going to get into with no computer. But they did OK. They actually went outside more. Harder now with only one kid at home. But still worth it.
