[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 32492, member: 3419"] Ohhhhhhh, I know exactly what you mean. Sigh. [img]:frown:[/img] Glad you were able to go for a walk, anyway. I've started telling difficult child that if he speaks to me in "that" tone of voice and argues he will be grounded... and I've found that it's a powerful tool when said right in front of the friend who will have to go home and pay the price. So sometimes they CAN control it. Sometimes difficult child doesn't think he's using a nasty tone of voice (and I know exactly what you mean by that, Heather), and if he can't figure it out, I tell him he's in Silent Time Out. It just means he isn't allowed to talk. Period. (Having been raised Catholic helps me with-ideas on occasion! ;)) [/QUOTE]
