[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 78615, member: 1835"] Sunny, I think your thought about how it takes time for them to see that our way works says it all. My son simply isn't there yet. I also tend to feel that, under the circumstances, he handled things as well as could be expected. As far as consequences, we really didn't leave him any hard and fast rules other than keeping the responsibility of the house and animals foremost as that was the "job" he agreed to do. The house was surprisingly clean, and the dog and cat were fine. It goes without saying, however, that he will not be given the responsibility again anytime soon--we all know that. That, and the loss of several days' pay due to our early return strikes us as the perfect "natural" consequence. Last night, he brought up the straw and seemed truly curious about where we found it and whether it contained anything. Now, I know I've said that he's a great schmoozer, and he is, but this sort of what I might consider blowing a smokescreen isn't his style. I sensed nothing more than him really wondering which of the several friends that were in and out could have been using it and for what. Time will tell... [/QUOTE]
