[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 257262, member: 3419"] It's got a long learning curve, Jlady. Some days, I still forget. One way I got difficult child and easy child to stop fighting was to take the same thing away from them. We used to have easy child babysit difficult child so husband and I could have dinner out once a wk. The kids always called us, yelling and crying. One night, I got so fed up, I growled into the phone, "If either of you call me again, you are both grounded for the rest of the week." I made sure they both heard me. Wonder of wonders, it worked. Yes, we as parents helped them, but it was something they had to work out themselves, as well. In regard to sleeping on the couch, it's going to be tough to keep that under control, especially if there's a TV in there. (I like Marg's idea. :) )And Aspies tend to take things literally, so if your difficult child slept on it once, then he can do it forever. My son didn't really turn around on things like that until the last yr. I think a lot of it was maturity, in general. I feel for you. [/QUOTE]
