[QUOTE="Star*, post: 124893, member: 4964"] Jo, The only thing I can tell you that I know in our similar situation of having difficult child at home from the group home/jail stint - is that EACH and EVERY single time we have gone over the rules - and difficult child nods in acceptance it takes less than 72 beats of his heart for him to "forget". And we've been on him like syrup on griddle cakes - and I mean it. We are bud-nipping in the extreme. I would have thought given past history with difficult child that this constant picking (at a very matter of fact type tone of voice) as in IT IS MY HOUSE AND YOU WILL GO LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE AND SHOULD THANK ME FOR BEING A PARENTAL MYNAH BIRD ABOUT THE RULES - actually has had it's benefits. My fingers are crossed for you - history vs. baby steps usually has history being the winner so I'm saying a little prayer for you each day that your difficult child "gets it" this time. I told my son that he can just plan on me repeating, repeating, repeating, repeating, repeating things because I'm not going to let stuff pile up and then blow up - we are handing things one minute at a time - he seems to actually be more responsive to being corrected THAT moment. So I dunnoh. I'm crossed up like a big top revival for us all. [/QUOTE]
