[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 469718, member: 11791"] ... whatever stretches him outside his comfort area... AND teaches him skills he's going to need anyway. difficult child says... Mom, why do I have to do XXX (fill in chore here)? One day he said something like, "Its not my job to make your life easy." For some strange reason, I actually had an answer... "No, its not your job to make my life easy. Its MY job to teach YOU the skills you will need when I'm no longer around to look after you." <light bulb goes on> That doesn't work for [I]everything[/I], but its amazing the number of situations it covers...
