[QUOTE="weaselqt, post: 73918, member: 3989"] I totally understand! My difficult child is doing the same stuff to us right now! He is 15 and expects to get EVERYTHING he wants. I think he has a hidden notebook of everything my daughter has received and at what age because he will say "I am getting such and such for Christmas this year because my sister got it when she was my age." I am getting such and such for my 16th birthday because my sister got such and such when she turned 16. He is only 15, birthday in March, and already telling us what kind of vehicle he wants for his 17th birthday because his siter got one for her 17th birthday! ARGH!! She got LUCKY because we were able to trade in an old truck to get her car - a Ford Escort. Oh yeah, He CANNOT get anything other than a truck because he is too tall to fit into any little car! I feel like giving up at times too. It doesn't help us when the counselor tells him to think of his own consequences and rewards for certain things he does, etc. and he IMMEDIATELY says he will want a cell phone this month. He doesn't NEED a cell phone. His sister got her cell phone AFTER she got her job - she got her car for her birthday - but we told her she will get to drive it when she has a job to pay for insurance and gas. I really can't see where difficult child will be able to get or KEEP a job - let alone drive a car!! I'm sendng hugs - and letting you know I am there with you! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}} [/QUOTE]
