[QUOTE="STRESSEDTOMAX, post: 532418, member: 3512"] You know it's weird. when I was thirty(18 years ago now), I remember being with a group of people and there was this one couple who were having big problems with their son. I didn't know them at all and I don't remember the age of the child, although I think he was in his teens. I remember them saying that he said F*** you to them. Well...I clearly remember saying to them that if my child EVER spoke to me like that they would be living somewhere else!! Of course, that was back in the days when I had only two PCs and everything that we discuss on this board was UNIMAGINABLE to me. I can't tell you how many times I wish that I knew who those parents were so that I could go back and apologize to them for my lack of understanding and empathy. I have eaten those words more times than I can count in the last ten years. I never knew that these problems existed. So...as far as consequences for that language, I will tell you quite honestly, I would have done the same thing as you, Bunny. To me, saying F*** you is like a easy child saying "shut up". Absolutely disrespectful but not worth starting another meltdown over. I really feel that this consequence thing for difficult children...excluding natural consequences, of course, is not realistic. Over the years I've actually grown to despise the word, especially from the professionals who do not live at my house...lol [/QUOTE]
