[QUOTE="Andy, post: 166949, member: 5096"] I don't know how you do it! You have so much patience and are continuing to look for the tools needed to work with two difficult children. I know how miserable it is when our children think they have the right to decide if/when we need punishment and to apply it themselves. "I gotta take matters into my own hands" is what my difficult child says. If anything in their eyes is our fault, they think they can put an end to it. Calmly tell difficult child I that he needs to grow up and take on the responsibility for house arrest. It is his choice to make as to having an easy time or miserable time. This is HIS life and if HE will not get a handle on it nothing will ever be peaceful. This is a good time for him to make some goals - where does he want to be in 3 - 5 years and how can he get there? Hang in there. You have a strength that I am envious of. [/QUOTE]
