[QUOTE="Suz, post: 121206, member: 29"] Don't. even. think. about. it. I know what you're thinking, Sue. Don't. No. way. can. he. come. home. with. this. attitude. Here's a tidbit, similar baloney in a professional setting. It might lend some perspective. It was my first manager job. I had two staff who felt they should be promoted to loan officers but they couldn't- or wouldn't- do the detail work. So every night I was reviewing their work because they weren't responsible enough to do it themselves. They felt they were "above" following the rules. I told them I couldn't give them more responsibility until they proved to me that they not only knew the basics but would follow them. If they couldn't get all of the paperwork necessary for auditors, how on earth could I depend on them to make good loan decisions? Logical, right? Well, you'd a thunk a thunderbolt hit them on the head. And these were two mature non-difficult child women. sheesh. So they started dotting their "Is" and crossing their "Tourette's Syndrome" and I was thrilled to promote them both 6 months later. It's easy to administer that when they aren't our flesh and blood...so much harder when they are our kids. Hold your ground. You are right. thank you simply has to act civilized before he can be part of civilization. Part of acting civilized is dotting his Is and crossing his Tourette's Syndrome. Big hugs, Suz [/QUOTE]
