[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 14915, member: 3419"] Thanks, Marg. I'd put that off because it's a brand new, beautiful feather comforter (and he shouldn't have been using it anyway) and it said "spot clean," which seemed like too much of a hassle for him. Usually he cleans his own bed linens. At any rate, I like the combo vinegar-eucalyptus idea. Good luck with-difficult child 3! Chris is supposed to gain back his computer privileges tomorrow but he's already upset because it's not 100% to his expectations, even though I've explained it numerous times. difficult child Chris keeps shouting "You said COMPUTER PRIVILEGES!" like shouting it is going to change anything. I told him we needed to define "privileges" again. by the way, I had a friend build a computer from spare parts and the whole thing cost $50, incl. the table. (Originally the kids shared but Chris was so abusive of the privilege as well as food--ick!) I gave it to our daughter. Clever friend gave me disk drives where you have to use a key to get into them, and also showed me how to disconnect the drives from the inside if need be, and friend told me to keep the mouse until D-Day. He's got good ideas! D-Day has moved back and forth on the calendar but it seems that tomorrow will really come. I reminded difficult child that he earns privileges on this, not rights, and it's done our way or no way at all. (Not to mention that I'm going to have to remove the mouse every night or he'll sneak downstairs and use it!). He got mad and slammed his door. by the way, a friend of difficult child got sent home from school Fri because he has "anger issues." difficult child talked about it just like an adult, which I thought was amusing... he is careful enough to only expose his own anger issues at home...
