[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 111035, member: 805"] Well I think flexible thinking is a must with a a difficult child! What reasoning will you give him as to why he gets to go away for the weekend? Where will difficult child 1 be? Is it really a reward for him to go to family on the weekend or a reward for you and your fiance? Only you can decide how this deviation will affect the system that you say is working so well. What is to prevent him from making a request say for an extra hour of game time since "Dad, you said there are always exceptions." Will this end up being a battle of wits? Our difficult children are real experts at manipulation and throwing our words back at us. You make an exception to rules you say there are no exceptions to and the rules become guidelines.
