[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 225439, member: 3419"] difficult child knows he is supposed to play only for 1 hr a day. During vacations and weekends, he may earn more time by doing more chores. He is definitely banned from certain games. He does have a certain time when he must quit. That's the issue; he won't admit it's his time to quit. He will ignore the real clock, and go by the football game clock. For example, there is 1 min., 30 sec. left, but you have to pause and huddle, you can clock out for injuries, etc. Then it's a half hr and what happened to the 1 min, 30 sec? We have explained to him that merely having the game turned on starts OUR clock. He argues about it and we tell him, "Then you've made your choice. If you can't follow the rules, no game." Sometimes that works ... :winking: Yes, he'll make a great lawyer. He just never gives up. I just hope he doesn't take morally questionable cases and win them. We have a friend who is an atty, and he won a suspended sentence for a woman who threw her baby over the walkway at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, about 10 yrs ago. I was furious, but he argued she deserved a fair trial, just like anyone else. Fair to whom? :angry: He's very ADHD, by the way. :) :whiteflag: [/QUOTE]
