[QUOTE="klmno, post: 142309, member: 3699"] I have had, and in a way continue to have similar problems. I have done a combination of things including locking up bicycle during the week, cutting hours at work to be home earlier (no I can't afford it- the difference in income has to be made up on credit), letting him go out for a while after I am home IF he stayed in until I got home. Finally, after medication changes to mood stabilizers, he met a kid that I considered pretty responsible and doesn't live too far away so I compromised and let difficult child go there after school sometimes before I got home, with the expectation that he would call and let me know he was there. This worked fairly well- until they bboth got in trouble together. (The trouble wasn't while I was at work.) I think there is only so much we can do- I started looking at it more as a transitional period where I would have to compromise and find a solution that we could both be comfortable with because difficult child was clearly not going to sit at home alone every day until I got here and, like your's, he clearly refused to do day care anymore. I worried now about what he'll do this summer- he is out-growing several of the day camps he's done in the past and I'm not ready for him to "be on his own" all day- as he thinks he should be. If you have any ideas on that one, I'd love to hear them!! [/QUOTE]
