[QUOTE="WSM, post: 285030, member: 5169"] <Snort> I'd buy him the game because I promised and I keep my promises. Then I'd confiscate the DS because he threw a temper tantrum and was uncooperative. And if I felt particularly snarky, I'd say, "Ya know, this gig worked out okay for me too. Not only did I get you to cooperate, I got the extra bonus of teaching you that new things like the carnaval can be fun, AND I got the extra, extra bonus of showing you that manipulations won't work out the way you think they will." But I've never had any success with my difficult child, so I'd be the last person to listen to when it comes to parenting advise. I'm so sorry though that your day was so hard and hope today will be more smooth. [/QUOTE]
