[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 191641, member: 59"] Sharon I'm so sorry. We've had similar days like this and it does bring teas to your eyes. One thing I wants to say is that looking back on those earlier years I always followed through with consequences and while I still think that was the right thing to do most of the time, there were some times when I think I should have backed down. difficult child has not learned how to do that and I blame myself for not modeling it. At the time I thought it was more important to be consistent to a fault than not follow through and let her think I would give in. All it did was make her learn how not to give up a fight. I'm not saying you should have backed down at all. Just a thought as I was reading and knowing how many times we had the same kind of situation here. Perhaps look for smaller areas where you can back down and explain to him that it was because he got in control of himself. Nancy [/QUOTE]
