Just the fact that he doesn't want to look like you are treating him like a baby in front of others by sending him back with things that in the beginning he wanted, looks like a good sign to me. Hopefully they will stick when he gets home.


I just know with my difficult child, even when he comes to visit for a weekend for holidays etc., doesn't understand why he has to be home at a certain time, or let me know if he's not coming home, when the house he's in has probably stricter rules then he has to abide by when visiting, and he has no problem following those. He has a curfew there during the week, and on weekends. He's only allowed to sleep out on Friday and Saturday nights, and if he's not going home he needs to let somebody know. He knows if he breaks these rules, he isn't dealing with his mommy, he's dealing with a house manager who won't think twice about telling him to pack his bags and leave. Amazing they can follow these rules for others, but when we suggest them, we are being rediculous!!
