[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 274342, member: 831"] Hello Heartsick and welcome. I'm sorry for the "why" you are here, but very glad that you are here. This forum is the singlemost important thing that helps me maintain the sometimes few threads of sanity that I have left. What jumped out at me is the lying when it is so OBVIOUS that it is lies. Son came home yesterday with his clothes soaking wet. I really didn't have a problem with it (it was in the 100s here yesterday), I just didnt' want him to sit on the furniture. The conversation went like this: Me: How did you get wet? Son: I'm not wet. Me: Yes, you are. Your shorts and your shirt from the waist down is wet. I can see it. Son: I'm not wet. Me: I can see you are wet. I'm not mad, I just want to know how you got wet. Son: Only my shorts are wet. Not my shirt. Me: Yes, your shirt is wet from the waist down. I can see the line. How did you get wet? Son: Sigh! Grrrr! I got wet at the park! OKAY?! You're always yelling at me!!! Son, of course, is the one that is yelling. You might want to find out what your insurance does cover. Reading The Explosive Child is a good start. I get what you mean about keeping control at home. I work in education and run a very tight ship with students. At home? Forget about it! [/QUOTE]
