[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 536351, member: 455"] I'm not soft but I am used to lies. I most likely would have first needed to realize if this was a first offense or not. Then I would have wanted to ask him why he was late and waited for the answer. Decided if it was realistic or one I could verify (could you have called and done this?). Then I would have decided based on all facts what the appropriate consequences were. If, in fact all of what was stated was true then I think I would have have given a consequence for being late as difficult child should have "eaten" in enough time to be home ON TIME and IF he needed to help pick up then he should have done it prior to the time as well. Having said that, I would be a little lenient on the fact that he did help pick up. He also could have called or texted that he was going to be late and why (and I could also have verified it at the time too). So I guess what I'm saying is I probably wouldn't have taken all those privileges away. Seems like an awful lot. If the "parents" did just make the cinnamon rolls he didn't have much control over when they were made, however the kids must have had some control over picking up "if" that was in fact what took place. If it wasn't and he just dallied his way in getting home I'd want to know what he was doing in that extra time and why he did it knowing he'd face these consequences (as you said he knew ahead). Maybe I'm missing something here? I don't think you are gullible or stupid but I'm wondering the answers to these questions. [/QUOTE]
