[QUOTE="klmno, post: 353946, member: 3699"] PO said we've done all we can to minimize difficult child's contact with bad influences but that's all we can do because he can and will see them at school and so forth and I suppose that's true. However, since I'm actually more bothered by his disprespect in leaving and walking while knowing I was already up and getting ready to take him and he didn't even have the courtesy to say he'd changed his mind or whatever- but even moreso about how disrespectful he was when I saw him walking and told him to get in the car and he refused. Therefore, even though he might get off house arrest, I'm grounding him for the first few days of it. Mainly because I really can't think of any other punishment for it. I haven't been the one to decide his punishments since he was 13yo and that seems like a life time ago. Well, maybe I'll ground him during the week next week but let him go out for a while Sat. during the day- we'll see- I'm open for ideas. The thing is, when he's on house arrest, there isn't too much more I can do except make him go to his room for a while where he has no tv but that seems negligible. [/QUOTE]
