[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 341302, member: 6705"] Even without an adult difficult child I can say I've seen this. Onyxx very rarely gets "real" punishment for her crimes. The worst has been a 1-night stay in juvie and 4 days in psychiatric hospital. Grounding doesn't seem to faze her at all. The thought of being arrested doesn't faze her. She does what she wants, never thinks ahead. And so far... Nothing has really happened. The only thing that bothers her - and it's a mild bother - is that this time, she didn't get her cell phone back. It's on my account, and I told husband - either she gets her own and pays for it; pays me up front; or he has to take care of it. He's not interested in doing that, so she'll have to come up with the money. She's asked several times, but always in the manner of one who knows the answer is already no. [/QUOTE]
