[QUOTE="busywend, post: 243556, member: 391"] Yes, it gets easier. When you find a better way. Your goal is not to control him. It is to guide & teach him. It does seem like we should be able to get compliance out of our children. It stinks that some children just will never comply with the way you want to parent them. Look for different ways. Think out of the box. If he does not want to wear socks and shoes - what are the alternatives? Ask him. Society tells us we have to wear shoes. It is safer to wear shoes. What does he suggest since he hates it so much? See where I am going here? It is difficult and it does not feel 'right'. But, it is still parenting. Just because they do not do as we say - does not mean we are not still trying to parent. [/QUOTE]
