[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 110059, member: 1514"] Ahhh...I know this scenario so well. I have been there done that so many times I think I have a whole closet full of the tee shirts in various sizes. This is simply classic CD behavior. He really doesnt care that he did something wrong, only that he got caught. Society's rules shouldnt apply to him. They are for the rest of us poor suckers who are blind enough to stupidly go along with things. We have always said that we could have held Cory's hand over the stove 100 times to tell him it was hot and he would have still gone back and tried it one more time to see if it was still hot. He simply didnt learn from consequences. And god help you if one time out of those 100 the stove was off and it wasnt hot...it showed him in his mind that See...he might get away with something 1 out of 100 times. It was worth the risk. Stupid! One day your son will learn. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later. Like totoro it only took me a few times of getting scared out of my mind to decide that I didnt want to live behind bars so I better change my behaviors. Unfortunately my kid hasnt made that connection yet. [/QUOTE]
