[QUOTE="slsh, post: 355074, member: 8"] klmno, hon, you are not a part of doing this to difficult child. He has done this all by himself. His choices. Far better that he figure out he must comply or there will be consequences now rather than later. I am relieved that PO is stepping up here. It really seems like difficult child is going to push boundaries until someone brings him up short, and I honestly don't see how that someone can be you because he has zero respect for your rules and expectations. Some kids are like that unfortunately. Doesn't have much to do with- your parenting, has far more to do with difficult child thinking he is above the rules. been there done that. I think you need to prepare yourself for difficult child blaming you, because that's what they do so well. This gets dumped squarely on difficult child's shoulders - you didn't tell him to skip school, sneak out, break every rule, etc. This is *not* on you. Hang in there - be strong, and be sure to take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
