[QUOTE="nvts, post: 368352, member: 3814"] I've always thought along the line of: spanking doesn't really make the point. It just proves that might makes right. I've been dealing with daily meltdowns, threats, and abuse and just had to say "enough". This kid was mocking me that he'll just throw a fit and I'll be held captive in the psychiatric E.R. while he's being observed (each one of these excursions take 8 hours - with the hospitalization, I had to call in all kinds of favors for people to watch the other kids while I went to visit). I finally (during my "retaking") explained to him that I would refuse to accompany him on the ambulance, be arrested for refusing an officer and kill anyone that tried to bail me out because there had to be more peace and quiet in jail than in this house. He knew I meant business. It also helps that my sister and father have been regailing the kids with stories about how I was the toughtest of the siblings and would beat the heck out of any kid that was hitting them or torturing them (I was a little tough guy - short but full of nerve). He knows I mean business. I have had teachers, administrators, cops and ACS workers tell me that he needs a swift kick in the :censored2: (all off the record of course) and when I told his psychiatrist about it on Friday (difficult child 3 had an appointment.) she laughed, clapped and gave me a high five. Quite revealing if you ask me! It also shows the enormous amount of crud that this kid has been dishing out. Right now, he just finished vacuuming the living room and is polishing all of the tables. I hate that I had to do it, but it really needed to be done. Beth [/QUOTE]
