[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 276206, member: 1991"] It does seem to be a contradiction, but I agree - it does happen that way sometimes. At 14, I was still threatening to wash my boys. I don't need to with difficult child 3 but he probably would let me. The threat was enough for difficult child 1, he would go and shower himself if I threatened to do it for him. I would have done it, but he would probably have insisted on wearing "budgie smugglers", or Speedos. I remember the bottles of urine. I would have discussed with him about the risk of someone accidentally drinking it, and then made him go empty it. You probably did something similar. I also hate having to use bribes but I will if I have to. One good bribe which worked for us, is a bribe of my time. We did it for meltdowns, but it really helped - difficult child 3 loves computer games and loves us playing them with him. So the incentive became - comply, and you earn 15 minutes of me playing a computer game with you, for each day of compliance. We'd play Mario Party. This was a non-money option and worked really well as a reward. I'm going to have to bring it back in again. Marg [/QUOTE]
