[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 287309, member: 3419"] I LOVE the idea of having the kids pay for maids. :) :) :) Or even having difficult child pd for what easy child should have done. :) I transferred the $ online. That felt GOOD! :) It wasn't all that much--we only have her pay 1/2 her bill--and I'm thinking we should have her pay all of her portion, since we gave her the phone as a gift. So, she got the car keys back at 1:00 p.m. In fact, we never took them because she came in so late and didn't wake us like she is supposed to, so I just left a note on the bathroom mirror telling her to give us the keys in the a.m. Boy, was she steamed! husband made some comment to me about being too harsh--he said to only take the car keys if she didn't clean the car (it was disgusting) and I said my understanding was to take them no matter what, until the work is done. He defended her and said, "She's doing the work." I said, "There ya go." :) Look what it took to get her to do it. It's only going to get worse when she scr&ws up in college. We are not going to pay her tuition if she starts flunking classes. husband will give her a 2nd chance, but I'm going to make him stick to his guns. He's only making it worse. She's a good kid. Smart, gorgeous, talented. Why is he enabling her like this? It will only destroy a perfectly good person. He loves to talk, talk, talk, and then *I* get to be the bad guy. Thanks for letting me rant! You are all great! [/QUOTE]
