[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 354274, member: 4040"] What the others have said. And in my opinion, he needs a hard lesson on the benefits and responsibilities of being part of a family. Son #1, at about that age, pitched a massive fit over something so vital I don't even remember, and told Hubby to forget all about him and forget he even had a son. OK. We didn't acknowledge his birthday (since Hubby no longer had a son) and he was hurt. Hubby reminded him of his tantrum. Son #2, similar lesson learned. Miss KT...we're still working on it. My point is that you don't get it both ways. You're either a member of the family or you are not. You don't get to beat everyone up emotionally and come home for the summer. You have no right to attack us, wound us, and then get PO'd because you didn't get a birthday card, or your pillows, or your tuition paid for next year. I spent the entire week telling primary students that behavior has consequences. Your difficult child has chosen his behavior, now he needs some appropriate consequences. Many, many gentle hugs for you. [/QUOTE]
