[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 532284"] I have said this to him on many occasions, but a little differently. I have told him that I'll know that he's relly sorry when he stops doing the behavior that he's sorry for. He's not sorry unless he tries not to do it anymore. If he's not trying to stop the behavior, "sorry" is just word. And he looks at me like I have two heads and am from Mars. I can't tell if he truly does not get it, of if he just doesn't want to get it because that would mean that he would actually have to work at something. Diasy, what I told him was that since he spoke to me like that he needed to take care of himself. Make sure that he got his homework done. Made his lunch. Whatever he needed to do, do it himself. I was not going to help him because I was not going to be spoken to like that. He cried, "But I'm sorry! I said I was sorry!" I told him that it wasn't enough this time and I'm sick of it. Don't ask me for help because you're not going to get it. Of course, that makes me "mean mom", but I don't care. He's 13. Five more years until I send him off to school somewhere because he is NOT staying home for culinary school. [/QUOTE]
