[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 406972, member: 6546"] Frazzled-- I'm not sure how realistic it is to make him pay for every little thing at home (like his share of the electric bill), but I think there definitely needs to be a "do to get" policy in place. For example, if our difficult child had wanted a trip somewhere - she would have had to have met certain goals before we even THOUGHT about buying anything. That way, we were not the ones getting burned if difficult child did not do what she was supposed to. In case you're wondering? difficult child has not bothered to meet any of our requirements lately - so has missed out on school trips, clubs, dances etc. But hey - if it doesn't mean enough to her to put in an effort? Why should it bother me? I'm not going to go paying for uniforms or buying tickets to something just so I can be disrespected and treated like garbage. In your case? Lock up the skiis, skateboards, whatever... He wants to use it? He can earn the priviledge. Just my two cents.... [/QUOTE]
