[QUOTE="daralex, post: 137196, member: 4467"] I'm a little late to post on this , but we're right in the middle of moving out of state and I haven't been here as often as I'd like to be lately. I echo the sentiments of natural consequences. It's very trying on my patience, but at least the whole family is on the same page as to what consequences will be for certain actions. For me that has been the key (but will always be a work in progress!) you and husband need to try to get on the same page for difficult child's sake and your sanity. I would think if there were house rules (even posted on the fridge) it won't stop bad behavior - but everyone in the home will know what the consequence will be for certain actions. We've also tried just about everything. We go through a few days or weeks when things are relatively calm - nad then BOOM! But at least now when it goes BOOM I don't have to come up with a punishment/consequence off the cuff and difficult child already knows what's coming to her (We take privelages away) But on the flip side if difficult child's been good all week she gets a small rewar (extra TV time/computer time/1/2 hour extra curfew, etc.) I am sending big ((HUGS)) it is most frustrating dealing with difficult child's to begin with, but even harder when you and your partner are not seeing eye to eye on how the home is going to be run. You're certainly not alone - just add me to the club!!! -Dara [/QUOTE]
