[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 502124"] We've done that with difficult child, but when I tell him that a mean mommy wouldn't do X, which I did, he tells me that I did it beause it was something that I had to do. For example, he lost his jacket at the beginning of the school year. It was starting to get cold out so I had to take him to buy a new one. He picked one out that was a little more money than I had planned in spending, but I could tell that I was going to get a couple of years out of it, so I bought it for him. He was thrilled because it was what he really wanted. Sometime later he was going on about how I was a mean mother and I brought up the coat that I just bought him and his response was that I HAD to buy him a coat or else he would be cold. Even the therapist tried to get him to understand that while I had to buy him a coat, I did not have to buy him the really nice one that I bought. I could have bought him a cruddy one and been done with it. Either he doens't get the point, or it just telling me that he doens't get it because all I hear is how I have to do things. [/QUOTE]
