[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 321645, member: 7948"] Just curious - did you try calling the cell phone to see if you could locate it inside the house? Not excusing difficult child 1 (and I suggest you charge the cell phones in your bedroom from now on) but just wondered about that. It's the first thing I do when I can't locate mine. I swear I have a colander for a brain since my kids turned 13. While I find the idea of making a teen stand on the corner with a sandwich board as Janet suggests hilarious and quite tempting, with my difficult child 2 it would lead to a full-blown rage as humiliation is definitely one of his triggers. Don't know about your difficult child 1 - might work for you. Is there something of his that he considers essential to his life and is electronic that you could take away? MP3 player? Electronic dictionary? Alarm clock? Watch? I like the last two ideas especially. They are things most of us really take for granted that truly are essential in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
