[QUOTE="jennd23, post: 479863, member: 11755"] JJJ - you were spot on. S cried and cried last night begging to live with his grandparents because I was going to send him to jail. :( It broke my heart. I explained that I am NOT going to send him to jail, he has to make good choices, and if he makes illegal choices he will go to jail (hopefully not making him think that any bad choice would send him there) but I said if you don't do illegal things no problems! He was pretty sad last night about it still but fine this morning. Even reminded me that as long as he makes good choices he wouldn't go to school. Also, although not entirely accurate I said they wouldn't put a kid in jail, but that he needs to learn these lessons now to remember when he grows up. :-S Sometimes I suck as a communicator too. Maybe I'm the problem.... [/QUOTE]
