[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 549790, member: 9175"] Sig, I am divorced from the King of the Ostrichs (Ostrichi?) and, believe me, you don't even come close. Many have pointed this out already: saying something about his lying about school would be - at this point - a waste of energy, time and sanity. difficult children live on a different planet. What works with PCs ...what worked with us as teens and young adults ...does not work with difficult children. Pointing out a lie to a difficult child does not cause the difficult child to assess his/her life and vow not to lie. Pointing out a lie to a difficult child causes the difficult child to regard us as though we have two heads, somehow blame us for the lie, then blissfully go on with life. What you are doing with your son is giving him the opportunity to live in your world for awhile. You're giving him the chance to enjoy his family. This will stay with him. Enjoy those moments and keep the Serenity Prayer close to your heart at all times. Dash [/QUOTE]
