[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 124774, member: 84"] House rules function to maintain safety and help the house run smoothly. When you're thinking of the consequences, try visualizing difficult child living there and not doing whatever it is you're trying to come up with the consequence for. How annoying to you, husband, and the family will it be? Is it a safety issue? Is it something that enables the home to run smoothly? I think the more realistic you try to be will difficult child's possible non compliance with whatever the rule is, the better you'll be able to come up with a just punishment for the rule. But if this has been a big problem in the past, odds are in favor that difficult child is gonna test the rules eventually. You have to be prepared for that and willing to stick by the consequences you have written down. by the way I could never use a reward system with either of my difficult children. It always backfired into them believing if they did anything they were entitled to something in return. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
