[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 372765, member: 1233"] When we married I told my husband that I would happily be the mother of our children, but he was a full grown adult and I would NOT be his mother too. He learned very rapidly that if I have to act like his mommy to get him to do what he needs to do, then I will treat him that way in ALL aspects. He couldn't have it in just one. He KNOWS that it he climbs so far into that computer that he won't do anything else then I [B]WILL[/B] render the computer inoperable until his attitude and behavior become that of a full grown man. I have only had to make the computer unusable twice. I have also used quite a few of the Explosive Child and Love & Logic methods on him. They WORK. Of course my mother's advice to newlyweds is also handy. Use simple, one word commands. Lots of praise. Turn away and ignore them when the behavior is bad. Just like training a puppy. She even admits she got the wording for her methods straight from a dog trainer!! If it works on my father it can work on anyone. Just don't tell them where you got this new way of handling them!! (Funny as this sounds, I am NOT joking. She gives it at every bridal shower! It always brings a chuckle and knowing nods from the older married ladies.) [/QUOTE]
