[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 163871, member: 3419"] Hi Jules, sorry I'm a day late and dollar short ... just wanted to send hugs and hope. What works best with-me is to write things down, to completely take myself out of the picture--my voice, my body, everything. Then I hand difficult child the list and walk away. He balks--yells, argues, negotiates, calls me names. And I just keep on walking. Usually, if there's some kind of reward or punishment involved, and on rare occasions, if he's in a compliant mood, he'll do the list and I won't hear another word about it. I noticed today that he argued with-his friend the exact same way he argues with-me. I am going to watch him closely to see if this is male/female or not. At any rate, best of luck and let us know how it goes. We all need a shot in the arm every now and then. (Excuse the expression. :) ) [/QUOTE]
