[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 66821, member: 3419"] That's a great report ... you've got your hands full! Glad the 15-yr-old is getting better. We have a system where every time the kids swear, (or at one point, they'd say "like," which drove us nuts!) they'd either do Time Out or pay us a quarter. We would have to pay them a quarter, too, if we swore. with-our son, who is younger, if he was home alone and he was being belligerent on top of swearing, we'd wash his mouth out with-soap. We've only had to do it 3X in his life (he's 10 now). The last time, he said, very snottily, "You'll never get that in my mouth. I won't even OPEN my mouth!" Well, OPEN gives your mouth a nice O shape, so in goes my finger with-liquid soap on it, LOL! If he'd shut his mouth, hint, hint, he wouldn't have to worry about it! For an almost-16-yr-old, I'd stick with-$. You have to do it too... no fair swearing and then saying she can't. If you don't swear, pick another bad habit you have... biting your nails, saying "Umm," whatever you can come up with. [/QUOTE]
