[QUOTE="Suz, post: 7940, member: 29"] Those are absolutely reasonable expectations but even if they weren't it's still your house and your rules. Of course you are tired of dealing with this. I have to wonder sometimes if our kids ignore what we want just because "they can." [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/919Mad.gif[/img] So anyway............the next step (in my way of thinking) would be to write your rules down, agree on consequences and write them down too, then have everyone sign the contract....and put it in action. It's the putting the contract/consequence in action that is the hard part....and [b]don't put consequences in the contract that you won't follow through on[/b]. Like I said earlier, it really helped to have it in writing. Heck, I posted the darn thing on the refrigerator door. No way on earth could Rob miss it or say he *forgot*. Suz [/QUOTE]
