[QUOTE="Wonderful Family, post: 243999"] I can't wait to go out of town for work in March and leave husband with difficult child and easy child both . . . somehow he's "forgotten" how challenging difficult child can be lately. I gave in when difficult child was 11; I was absolutely opposed to it; husband is all into electronics and saw it as a simple thing. I finally gave in, it was the best thing I ever did. difficult child is pretty good about answering me when I call to find out where he is, he can check in with us, etc. difficult child even sleeps with his cell phone; so he's pretty attached to it and I finally had a tool I could use for consequences that kind-of works. The only problem we had was heavy use at night with calls/texts; solved that by shutting off service from 10:30 pm to 6:00 am. Save yourself some money; buy the bigger texting packaging if you can. We didn't at first and spent a ton the first month of two; difficult child didn't know that it cost extra. [/QUOTE]
