[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 16795, member: 3419"] Gosh, you've got your hands full. Welcome. Here's a cup of tea. My son is just coming out of the problematic-encopresis-bedwetting stage. Part is allergies (wheat, dyes, etc.) part is ADHD--just can't stop for a darn thing! and part is umm... I forget. [img]:smile:[/img] For the bedwetting, he's got to drag his sheets downstairs and do the laundry himself. He'd lie about it and say he didn't wet the bed, but when I'd get him to stick his nose in it, he'd back off. He hid the encopresis for a long time, hiding his underwear in the closet or under the bed. Thank god we have dogs!!! or I wouldn't have known except to smell his little behind. He'd argue that he didn't care what he smelled like and I told him it didn't matter if he didn't care; rules were rules. I'd wipe his bottom myself sometimes and 10-yr-old boys do not like that! So he's finally getting the knack. Also, we make him take a shower or bath every single night, even when he's gone swimming during the day (that used to be his excuse). LOVE your daughter's vocab and maturity!!! Glad you were able to listen while that conversation was going on. I really like Marguerite's idea about reminding him that since he doesn't wipe well, he IS using those same hands for eating. Maybe you can tell him why Muslims are supposed to eat only right handed... LOL! I'm impressed with-the homework progress you've done, weighing the science fair project with-English, etc., and having him come up with-rewards and benefits for grades. His reponse is very similar to what John Rosemond says in one of his books, when he told his son to come up with-his own curfew and his son chose an unbelievably early time. I have no idea how people's minds work but heck, whatever works. You didn't ask for advice, (or did you) in re: to your ex, but you gave yourself some advice or at least insight, in re: to how your son behaves better when he's around you. But you need a break... so can you get a babysitter or playmate a couple of times a wk, just to give yourself a break, just so YOU will have more influence than your ex? Just a thought... {{{cyberhugs}}} [/QUOTE]
