[QUOTE="agee, post: 345207"] The minute one of us goes back on our word is the point where we'll get 6 months of badgering the next time we say no. Seriously. Perhaps if dad had said that to begin with it would have been a better strategy, but we have found that we need extremely clear boundaries for difficult child to really understand what is going to happen (or not). And, as I said when I started this thread, even that won't work since he often believes that if he says it, it's the truth. Us making the rules more hazy seems really counterintuitive. And the fact is if difficult child wanted to save some of his time for later with dad, he could have. But he didn't. So no, that won't work. [/QUOTE]
