[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 536458"] Just to clarify, difficult child 1 has ALWAYS been home on time after a sleepover. This was the first time he's done this after a sleepover. He does it all the time after he's been gone playing, but never after a sleepover. He served his grounding without a peep. He knew he was wrong. Believe me, if he even thought it was unfair, he would not have dropped it at all and would have had a meltdown and continued arguing his point. He didn't do that. My guess is that he lied about being on his way to put coming home off for as long as he could. Once he came home, he had to take 10 minutes to think of a "reason" for me to drop the consequences. Usually, when he really does have a reason, he presents his case the second he walks in the door before I even have a chance to ask why he's late. If he has a good reason, I let it go with the explanation that he needs to call me to let me know he's going to be late, not wait until he gets home late to tell me. [/QUOTE]
