[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 435064, member: 11847"] When it comes to safety issues (ie: electricity and water in the fountain), difficult child is usually pretty good about it. He was born in a dangerous environment (on a farm with really BIG equipment) and now lives in an equaly dangerous one (I own a trucking company), so from the start there was no doubt in my mind: he HAD to listen and follow safety rules. Really is a life or death situation. He usually lies and deny any wrong doing for the small stuff. It is never big, but what drives us banana is the accumulation of small stuff. If asked why (ie: why did you hit your brother, why don't want to eat your dinner...) 95% of the time he will say "I don't know". Or if I correct him from doing something wrong (I will say some like "V. now that's enough, you need to stop"), then he will cry and cry and cry!!! He can go on for almost an hour. After a while of crying, I ask him why he is crying (the scolding was quite small) and he will say either I don't know or you make me sad. [/QUOTE]
