[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 572095, member: 3419"] I completely understand! I agree with-HopeRemains, that the one hr of raging can suck the entire weekend out of you. My husband used to go to work on weekends with-the instruction, "Be sure to keep difficult child busy. Have a list of activities for him to do." Like that was as easy as pie. He did not have a clue. Like you, I dreaded weekends. It was helpful for my son to have friends to run around the neighborhood with. That gave me a bit of time. But age 13 was definitely his time of being a "No Lifer," where videogames were his life. He has even stolen from us to get money for points. It is so addictive for these kids, and they truly don't understand what love is. I have often taken away my son's gaming equip and made him earn it back. (You've never seen a kid do chores so fast!!!) It's time for you to do that. Expect a huge rage. But really, you may only have to actually do it once. My son caught on pretty quickly. I recommend earplugs and a xanax to help you through it. HUGS!!! [/QUOTE]
