[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 291042, member: 3419"] mstng, I have a nephew who does that. The smile and everything. But he's "just a boy," as my sister says. BRAT. So, I would say that your difficult child isn't "really" 19. More like 12, ya know? Maybe by the time he's 40, he'll get it. You have worked very hard on him and you have done a great job, especially considering how old he was when you got him from foster care. Right now, the only thing he "gets" is under your skin. His fave game, for sure. I understand why you want him out of the house. In the meantime, I would try to remove the reward he gets for offending you. Clearly, you are responding to his behavior in a way that he finds validating and entertaining. I love your expression, "I just want to slap [him] into next week." I may have to borrow it. [/QUOTE]
