[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 16377, member: 2063"] Oh how familiar with this one we are. I get blamed a whole lot more than husband does but still everything is our fault. We have worked many hours to change that thinking. AT thanksgiving difficult child 2 knew he was to come home for an overnight visit because no other kids would be home. We went over expectations etc on the Monday before and he knew we would pick him up on Wednesday. The list of expectations was kept short so as not to be overwhelming. The first thing being no fighting with any other peers. Tuesday we received a phone call saying he hit another kid up side the head. Of course that meant visit was cancelled. He blamed husband repetitively for this. husband reminded him of the list and said no it was his decision not to follow the expectations. difficult child 2 hung up on him. Finally when we had our next session he admitted it was his fault. I think it is easier for them than taking on accountability for their actions. Beth [/QUOTE]
