[QUOTE="klmno, post: 343441, member: 3699"] Thanks, Terry- you are giving me some ideas. The first you mentioned about no shower at 3:00 am and then chuckling is about as far as we've gotten so far. LOL! Then a couple of months ago when he therapist said she didn't think he needed any guideline or restriction about going to bed a certain time, even on school nights, I said no. I told difficult child there would be a "lights-out" time established for school nights. Of course they haven't seen this as an issue in a Department of Juvenile Justice facility. But where I used to tell difficult child I wanted him to have homework done prior to dinner time when he was younger, that would be too much for a kid in high school, I think, and I won't put that on him. But I stand fast on my rule that if he refused to go to school that day but wasn't sick, he does not get to socialize with friends that evening, in or out of the house. I don't care how old he is. LOL! His therapist is clueless- I can just see my butt being hauled into court for difficult child being truant (they can take the parent to court for that here) and GAL saying I didn't tell difficult child he had to go to bed or punish him for over-sleeping or give him repercussions for refusing to go to school. on the other hand, they (GAL and PO) need to get a clue that I can put all those things into place and my son still refuse to go to school and then it is HIS responsibility.
