[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 285108, member: 1514"] I so agree with the others. You can not give into her by thinking that she is so messed up and it is all your fault and if only you handled it different...blah blah blah. Crack down now. She doesnt get to verbally attack you just because she got caught cheating on a test. She doesnt get to decide your divorce was all your fault or you dont parent correctly or anything else for that matter. She is just spewing venom to keep you off center. I had the same problem you are having about enforcing punishment while working. Cory refused to stay grounded while I worked. I hated it when people told me...well...just ground him...If he does A, tell him he cant go out and be with friends for a week. I couldnt enforce that because I worked at least a 40 week plus drive time. How on earth do you make them stay in the house without chaining them? If they would stay inside they arent difficult child's...LOL. I got creative. I took things away. I knew he would be in school...well I hoped he would ...so I took the power chords for all TV, computer, phones and any other electronic devices with me to work. I had the fishing poles and guns locked up. I left a few books that he really liked on his bed. I took all his shoes except one pair. I called all his friends and told their moms he wasnt allowed over. Then if I found out that he HAD gone out anyway...when I got home from work, he got no dessert that night, we ignored him, he wasnt allowed in the living room with us, he had to stay in his room all night.
