[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 51139, member: 59"] Well in that case jenbug I may be tempted to let him go. Your Dad sounds like a very caring Grandpa and perhaps he can do some good. There is nothing wrong with reconsidering the punishment and coming up with an alternative. Of course you may want to make it clear that your parents were terribly hurt and disappointed and you didn;t want to take this away from them. Maybe your difficult child will learn something even deeper through this. Nancy P.S. I did want to add that my difficult child at age 14-15 was sneaking out of the house too. She took the screens out of several windows and came and went that way. We never could figure out why she just didn't use the front door. I guess it wouldn't be sneaking then. I'm not condoning this at all and it was a great concern to us, but many many kids that age are sneaking out, it's like a badge of honor. So he is not that different. [/QUOTE]
