[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 501925"] After I said that to him I felt like I made a mistake because now he's going to feel like I have to take his nonsense. He does know, however, that I will walk away because I an not going to take his abuse. As I have told him on more than one occasion, his father doesn't speak to me like that and I would not take it from him if he did. I do not have to take it from him. I know, two different messages. Like I said, as soon as I said it I knew it was wrong. We'll see how the rest of the week goes before I make the decision about bowling on Sunday. If this becomes the only bump in the road during the week, then I'll take him. As the week goes on if he continues to be diffucult I will make him aware that his beloved bowling is in jeopardy and that if he doesn't change his tune, and change it real quick, the he's not going to be going. I understand that "relationship building" activities should not be contingent on good behavior, but I feel no great need to spend time with someone who treats me worse than the dirt on the bottom of his shoes. I wouldn't do it if it were my husband, I'm not going to do it witha child who should know better. It's not like difficult child doesn't know that if he wants things he needs to be respectful (at the very least). [/QUOTE]
