[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 248486, member: 1991"] I'm afraid my response to this would have been instantly sarcastic. Oh, I say - that is wonderful! Thank you so very much! After all these years of arguing over homework, all the checking of bags, telephoneing teachers, asking, nagging, suprtvising - and all I had to do was ask her to stop lying and to cooperate? How stupid must I have been, all these y ears? How on earth can I ever thank you? My child is now cured! All it took was one simple request from you, and I know I can now beleive everything my child says to me on the topic of homework, now and forewer! That is miraculous, nobody has been able to ever do this before, and be able to guarantee that she will never lie to me again! I am so happy. Of course, now she is cured, that means we never need to bother you again. Goodbye, doctor, thank you for all you've done." Mind you, I'm with mstang67chic. Make the effort to follow through as if the doctor is right. Be thorough. Be detailed. Take written notes. Then present the doctor with a written report. Then ask, "Now do you have some methods that are actually WORKABLE? Other than the previous pure wish fairy stuff..." Marg [/QUOTE]
