[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 368841"] I really don't have any answers for you but SD sounds very much like my son. Consequences often made him angrier and more rebellious...and he would find ways around him. Doesn't mean they weren't necessary but they didn't always work either. They worked the best when they were very clearly stated and agreed upon. A written contract helps this... but again he would always find all the loopholes and no contract can cover everything. I would limit a written contract to the basics you feel are necessary. Sometimes rewards worked.... but of course you have to be careful it is a reward for good decent behavior and not bribery. Yet even with those he often would then try and take advantage.... I totally sympathize with you and wish I had something concrete to offer you. We told our son, age 18, a month ago that he had to leave our house for his behavior. [/QUOTE]
