[QUOTE="klmno, post: 353721, member: 3699"] I just spoke with PO- difficult child's drug test came back perfectly clean- no dilution indicated. He says he ddoesn't think difficult child is ddoing as much as he's trying to brag about. I told him about this morning and so forth and he says difficult child is a difficult situation and it is weird because he isn't delving into one path or another. He said he is almost certain that difficult child is struggling and not 100% trying to manipulate us all- unless he doesn't come home after school as he should today. He said what difficult child wants to do is typical teen however where it goes awry is that difficult child's circumstances aren't typical and this is where he struggles with which path to go on, in PO's opinion. So, we discussed what to do if difficult child does come home on time today and if he doesn't. If he does, PO wants to take him off house arrest starting Sat. with a curfew. He doesn't want to punish him for not going on the field trip because no one would have made him go and because difficult child went to school on time this morning. OK- but what consequences should I give him for lieing to me or at least not telling me this morning that he'd changed his mind and didn't want to go? Or did he plan to go and think he could walk with his friend and still get there on time to make the field trip? If that's the case, maybe the natural consequences are enough?? [/QUOTE]
