[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 553994"] Then, after he cooled off and the two kids were playing again (maybe 10 minutes later?) difficult child comes to me and asks if they can play in my room. I looked at him and said, "You just called me a lying b(#*%, and now you have the nerve to ask me for something?" He said that he was angry and he didn't mean what he said and that he was sorry. I have heard "I'm sorry" so many times from this kid that it just doesn't mean anything anymore. I told him that he's always sorry, but he keeps doing to same things over and over again. I told him that I would know he was truly sorry when he stops doing it. Seeing that he was not going to talk me into letting them play inmy room he changed tactics. "You mean you won't let easy child play in your room because of me?" "Yup!" was my answer. "No one is playing in mom's room today." I told them to play in the basement, or better yet, go run around outside and get some fresh air into their lungs, which was what they wound up doing. [/QUOTE]
