[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 105383, member: 84"] I agree with Janna. It is so much easier when you've thought out ahead of time rules and consequences, as well as punishments for certain types of behavior. It's extremely helpful when you're feeling especially stressed and makes it less likely that you'll go overboard. And it helps the child to know what to expect as well. Sound to me like Tonight should be a do over. Remember when you were a kid and you'd want a "do over" when something got messed up? Don't be afraid to let difficult child see you're human too. If it were me, and it has been on occasions been there done that, I'd apologize for over reacting to the situation and put the tree back up. As for the TV, if it belongs in the livingroom, then it belongs in the livingroom. If he can't keep it there, I'd lock it in my room. If you don't want a scene, do it while he's at school. But in my house when we have a do over day, the tv thing would be forgiven too. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
