[QUOTE="ARGH, post: 657950, member: 5954"] My husband is his father and no one on either side of our families has ever exhibited behavior like CL's. And judge all you want and tell me all you want to how spanking or yelling doesn't help when for YEARS we've tried the liberal way of no spanking or yelling, just coddling and undestanding that we had a Difficult Child. See how far that got us?! Perhaps had we disciplined him a little more strictly at an early age we wouldn't be dealing with this now. If you know all of the answers, what helped your kid? I assume all 6 of your children are straight line walking, model citizens, even the two Difficult Child's? Was that done through nothing more than empathy, understanding and submissive parenting? Just curious since you are telling me everything that we have done wrong. I refuse to live in a house where my things have to be locked up daily and my child runs things. And, we have gone OVER and beyond to help our child. I guarantee you that we have been to more doctors, therapists, counselors and professionals than most. We have done more, invested more and spent more time with our child to try and encourage more positive behavior than most parents can afford to because we are fortunate enough to be able to do so. But eventually, human nature being what it is, someone can only take so much before they break and that is exactly what happened. Is letting our child talk down to us, berate us, disrespect us and generally crap on us the acceptable way to handle this? Should we just lay down, give up and say okay CL, you win? NO. We shouldn't and we won't. We will do EVERYTHING to help him and even if that does mean that his father loses his temper eventually, that's what it means. He didn't hurt him. And no he won't get in trouble for what happened. Already talked to a friend who works for the Harris County DA about it and she said she certainly wouldn't accept charges on that incident if it were presented to her. [/QUOTE]
