[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 79179, member: 3419"] Thanks, I will try the things you all suggested. And you're right about boundaries, incl. taking his sister's personal things, and shaking his fist in my face. Today I am just exhausted. I didn't get to bed until almost midnight, and feel like I could sleep all day. This sort of thing wears you out. Just a few min. ago, I told difficult child to strip his bed because it smells. He insists it's some cologne he borrowed from husband. He yells, "Dad told you FOUR TIMES yesterday that it was the cologne!" I told him that was extremely rude. "NO it's not. I'm JUST TELLING you!" "You do not speak to your mother in that tone of voice, and you do not lecture. You're going to take Mom Talking Classes." He rolls his eyes but in a calmer voice he says, "All I was saying is that it's the cologne." "Much better. Why didn't you say it like that in the beginning?" "Because I wanted you to know." "Fine. But I'm the one in charge." ARrrgggghhhhh! [/QUOTE]
