[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 694222, member: 19951"] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copa- I totally agree with Insane. I have learned that when I say less to Difficult Child, he seems to actually listen vs. tuning out with my blah, blah, and another thing, yaddie yaddie. Less is more. State a factual sentence. "I want you to be respectful of the food in the house, use it, replace it." "I understand you want a get away, fine, understand me also, you've made progress, I am proud of you, love you and would hate for anything to disrupt your progress.Your choice, your decision" "Do not disrespect me in my house, period." I make Difficult Child think with my little statements, it seems to have worked and he is progressing and I am proud of him. I think back on the times I said OMG how many times have I told you, do you not listen, I told you this would happen, but you always do what you want to do, etc. Now it's more you're 36, a grown man, your decision but understand x, y, z could happen, think it through if that is what you feel you should do, etc. Keep it simple. I think you should get a card, some donuts (if he likes donuts, or cookies) and give them to your son and write, I love you more.. [/QUOTE]
