[QUOTE="JKF, post: 594153, member: 12470"] The rule in our house is on weeknights he has to be showered and in his room by 8, he can read for an hour, and then lights out at 9. He gets up at 6 so that's 9 hours of sleep which he needs. I go to bed at around 11 and he's asleep (or at least acts like it) so I have a feeling he's waking up in the middle of the night. I agree 100% about not being physical. I haven't been in a very LONG time but today I snapped. It was so early and I was so tired and achy and he was tired and whining, but I know that's not an excuse. I know it was wrong. Being physical with someone only teaches that person to be physical with others. I know that and I regret losing my temper like that. I have printed out all of my anger management tips again to read and re-read because I feel like I'm going to be relying heavily on those skills for a long time to come. Like I said, I will talk with him again after school and hopefully we can come up with a solution that will suit us both. Maybe if he feels like he's got some control and I feel like I have some control we can meet happily in the middle. [/QUOTE]
