[QUOTE="keista, post: 516559, member: 11965"] I agree with DF's and Buddy's advice, but would like to expand just a tad. No question about it that you are entitled to vent the difficult child goings on to husband. He's got the right to hear it. Unfortunately, if this only leads husband to re-opening a closed subject, there is nothing to be gained except an even more defensive difficult child. The boy calmly came to you and apologized. You accepted the apology. Case was closed, but husband re-opened it this morning. Poor kid. He did what he was supposed to do, but still gets repeatedly beaten over the head with his wrongdoings. Obviously he shouldn't have called names in the first place, but he already 'cleaned up his mess'. Why does he have to do it twice? [/QUOTE]
