[QUOTE="nikiani, post: 599595, member: 16375"] This was already 2 years back or more that it SOMEWHAT worked Liahona... :( As of now, He has been grounded from his bicycles (which he adores) and all of his other toys like K'NEX and Legos (which he also adores) It has been months, and he doesn't have a care in the world about any of it. Today....he was looking for nightcrawlers....and decided to jump into a tree.. He apparently fell down and for 45 minutes, danced around playing yet. He then came into the house and started whimpering for the next hour. I told him to get some ice for it because I was not running him to the E.R. again....We were there a few weeks ago when he thought it would be cool to screw around at school with a desk ( and of COURSE he tried to lie about that) and managed to split his finger wide open which required 8 stitches. I of course at the time called my best friend who is a nurse and had her grab him from school and get him to the E.R.(she was MUCH closer) His first and only comment was...(without tears) was.."why wouldn't my mom find someone to take the girls so SHE could come get me"....My best friend is as close as any family member could be and she knows Ian inside and out. I finally got to the hospital after a few minutes of him being admitted....and he says..."why couldn't you drop the girls somewhere?"....I told him....Ian you are my son and I tried to get here as fast as I could....this was the best I could do!

I said NO, YOU take him....I'm not gonna be treated that way again and I refuse to coddle this **** with him.
