[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 532348, member: 14557"] I just feel that never is an awfully long time. And I know that I have a tendency to repeat my mistakes at times. So I always tried to hit home the 'seriously trying to make better in future' point of view. My difficult child used to whine why he should always be the one whose responsibility it was to make it better. And I pointed out that it was his words and actions that caused the hurt. Sometimes he took it better and sometimes not so well. And yes, this rule does apply to everyone in this house (if they are not using four legs and barking and even them kind of get it.) So if I did wrong difficult child (or easy child or husband) I was making amends. And made a big deal out of it. I just tried to hit home that relationships are the two way streets and you have to work on them. And if wrong them the best course of action is often to try to make it up. I'm not claiming any spectacular success, but even difficult child did learn something and while he is still having huge problems especially in peer relationships and in bigger groups, he does do much better in closer relationships.
