[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 80072, member: 3388"] Terry, It looks like I have some catching up to do regarding the underwear. I'm so sorry about difficult child's grades. I understand how frustrating it is when you know your difficult child is capable of so much more than he is producing. Are the C's and the D because he isn't doing some of the homework? I used to try to get difficult child 1 to do his homework. No matter what the consequences, he still refused to do it. We tried taking away his computer, the one thing that motivates him. It didn't work. I hope you have much better luck than we did!!! I know what you mean about always being the bad guy. I was tired of it too. I talked to husband about it. Now, when we have to tell difficult child 1 about the negative consequences caused by his poor choices, we tell him together. This has made it a bit easier for me. difficult child 1 knows that husband and I now operate as a team. He is no longer able to use his ODD tactics successfully. This in itself is a major accomplishment!!! I'll be thinking of you and hoping that difficult child accepts the consequences as a result of his grades without "punishing" you. WFEN [/QUOTE]
