[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 527658, member: 455"] The joys! Sounds like my young difficult child. Mouth moving, lies coming out! School work, lies. No homework? Right, tons of it but I've given up on that battle now. Video games? Oh my, the bane of my existence. We've taken it away and it's been gone (both wii and handheld) for weeks. Refuses to get off them or do anything. Lost tv, bike, new roller blades (he bought at yard sale). Kid has nothing at moment but still doesn't care. He still stays out when shouldn't on foot. Only now I know where he is and it's at one particular house with an adult (a gentleman who is a scout leader and dentist by trade) who has attached himself to said difficult child. difficult child has been continuously working at his house (odd jobs) and in turn this guy is helping him get things for his $40 riding mower he bought that needs repairs. He's also helping him repair it. The guy also has an interest in cars so that is the bit draw for my difficult child. Anyway, what we've done lately with the lying bit is demand the truth the first time instead of layers of lies down the road to the truth and not be mad when we get it. So far, after about a week and a half, we've pretty much gotten the truth within the the first time or second layer of asking. Not 4,5, 6, etc layers of different stories (lies). Don't know what to tell you for yours. [/QUOTE]
