[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 37560, member: 393"] Okay, difficult child needs to get over it! Let him make the darned phone call - jail is respite for goodness sake. Sweetie, you cannot let difficult children threats of calling child protection get in the way of parenting your difficult child. If difficult child chooses not to follow the daily rules of the household & he is consequenced that's life. If he picks up the darned phone to call - you dial the number. You cannot be held hostage to this sort of behavior. Simply not worth it - your emotional well being, along with the need to nurture your marriage & keep your other child safe is paramount. Caving in to difficult child's antics or reacting like you are helpless simply adds to his already high sense of control. [/QUOTE]
