[QUOTE="JodyS, post: 182918, member: 5440"] He does like his video games - a lot. The problem is he doesn't take care of them, most of them are broken and I refuse to buy him anymore because he is incapable of picking up after himself. I am not kidding since I started this thread I have caught him in 2 more lies. The only thing I can do is give him chores, because there is nothing to take away anymore. He doesn't get the opportunity to earn something back because he will do 5 bad things to 1 good thing. I do point that good thing out to him, but I can't not punish him for then punching his sister or flat out lying to my face. He seriously has earned 60 chores this weekend and he gets me to a boiling point where seriously I can't even handle being around him anymore. I love this child with all my heart and soul but come on if he is doing this at age 11, how bad is it going to get at age 15? Today like too many days was just terrible. I seriously think about sending him to boot camp. I can't find one in MN or one that is affordable. But I need help! My family just can't survive like this. I just loose it with him and get so angry and hurt. It is all day of lies and blatent disobedience and disrespect to myself and my husband and our kids. I know tomorrow is a new day, but there are times I need to not be around him and I have no where to send him. But don't get me wrong. I love that little man with all that I am. I feel like such a failure as a mom. Why can't I get him to follow the rules and do what he is told? I worry he will grow up and be in jail because he just can't follow the rules! [/QUOTE]
