[QUOTE="HopeRemains, post: 532463, member: 14139"] Sounds like a very familiar scenario. (Except for the cussing, he doesn't do that anymore, thank goodness. But he's only 8 so time will tell...) The other day I asked difficult child to put his clean clothes I'd just folded into his dresser. His response? "You've got arms and legs, why don't YOU do it, lazy!" My jaw just about dropped onto the floor. After that the next few loads of laundry I made him fold his own clothes AND put them away. I agree with you guys about the decision making. It's too much for difficult child sometimes. He also has a horrible time when he knows we are going somewhere fun. He starts acting very cocky and disrespectful. I don't really know why. Usually he ends up raging before we can get out the door and we all have to stay home. Last time, though, we just dropped him off at husband's brother's house and did the fun stuff without him. We'll see if that has an impact in the future. It's time that the whole family isn't punished because he can't get himself under control. [/QUOTE]
