[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 27397, member: 3419"] This past wk, my difficult child told me I was stupid, etc. I took away his computer mouse and he said something else rude to me, so I added a day. Every day he asks (of course, you know these kids never give up) and every day I say NO, not until Sun. He nicely says, "Oh, yeah." But a couple of days ago he argued that he could do me favors to earn back the mouse. (Trash, dogs, room, etc.) I said that's nice but NO. He asked why, and I told him that it's because every time he thinks about his mouse and computer and why he doesn't have it, he is reminded of how he treated me. Period. It works... until next time. And there's always a next time. However, the "next times" do get spaced out further and further. So I know that something is sinking in. Maybe by the time we're both 90... At any rate, maybe that approach will help someone here. [/QUOTE]
