[QUOTE="Steely, post: 105363, member: 3301"] Welp, let me just say been there done that! So don't beat yourself up. We all lose our cool with these kids, and end up in left field. I think the consequence of taking Cmas away was probably more than both of you could handle at this point...and it is not exactly a natural consequence for being lazy and vindicative. It seems it was more an irrational attempt to assert your authority, coupled with fatigue and resentment (which, again, been there done that). So, I think I would go back and apologize for blowing up in an irrational way - but let him know that that there will be consequences for his actions (insert your A, B, and C consequences here.) I think it is perfectly acceptable to let our kids know we are human, and that sometimes we makes choices that in hindsight we realize are not the best ones. [/QUOTE]
