[QUOTE="1905, post: 428228, member: 2668"] Allen, I have personally kicked my difficult child out of the home for violence, stealing and destroying the home. Oh yeah, he also refused to work. Let me tell you something, THAT act alone was the best thing I had ever done for him. Yes for him, he learned the hard way, he now lives on his own, has a good job with benefits, and we all have a great relationship. He learned the hard way, as do most of our kids here. Reasoning?.......please, if that worked I doubt any of would be at this forum. Some kids need to learn the hard way, they have to live with the consequence of bad choices in order to change. Otherwise, in the words of my difficult child, "Why should I?" I know people who try to reason with, and have quaint discussions with their difficult child. And they have a 30- year- old unemployed difficult child, who lives on their couch and won't work, who also has a bad attitiude. These are the people who think I'm a bad mom for kicking my poor, dear son out. My son's happy and productive and we get along. These people hate to go home, because thier son is on the couch. Reasoning isn't working for them but they think it is! [/QUOTE]
