[QUOTE="Andy, post: 197222, member: 5096"] Ugh big time! Maybe setting a "visitation" night or hours may help? "No one over on Monday - Thursday after 6:00. If homework is not done, no one over Sunday after 5:00pm." Set times for homework and noone is allowed over during that time. I have a "difficult child home and no one over after 7:00pm regardless of home work status". My difficult child tried to change that one with, "I don't have homework tonight, I can stay out later." "No, the rule is for every school night Sunday - Thursday. Homework has nothing to do with this one" (He needs to be asleep by 8:00pm). 13 is a time of more rules to set boundaries of wandering - how far to go and how long to be gone - of course ALWAYS tell mom or other adult where you are going and with who. Just keep reminding him that he needs to be accountable for all his actions and that he is capable of making good choices. I hope he is feeling better. Maybe a good night's sleep will help. [/QUOTE]
