[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 385145"] When it got dark, I finally found him at a different friend's. I told him it was time to come home and he did without issue. When we got in the house, he started crying and saying he's sorry and asking if he was still grounded. I simply told him I didn't say that but now I'm considering it. I then told him, my decision depends on if he is able to "turn it around" and get his homework done. He made himself a snack and WE sat down at the table to do homework. I reminded him that I write and he just tells me what to write. We got almost all of it done (only 4 problems we can do in the morning). When he headed to bed, he asked "How long am I grounded for?" When I said it depends if he can KEEP up the good decisions and go to sleep. His response was "Just tell me how long. I know I should be". This is pretty typical behavior after he has had a chance to really calm down. If I do hand down a punishment for the negative behavior, he graciously accepts it. I just wish we could get to this part without going through the meltdown first. Thanks for the input Marg. [/QUOTE]
