[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 249554, member: 6271"] I encourage remembering that this is your house and these privileges are what you provide. Holding the standard that you are requiring is the means to receive the privilege. I am so sorry to know that your child is not receiving the help needed for his condition. "giving up" is just going nowhere. I hope you keep looking into what it possible for him and who is available who can and will help. Linking internet use and other privileges to the standards you require in your home are meaningful as there are rules everywhere and you are not obligated to indulge him in anything that costs money out of your pocket. In my house until there was a problem internet was not an issue. When that changed, and after caring adults clued me into the idea, I did pull out all the technology and cable and ground my son. Chores, behavior, grades were the conditions and until he was able to not only comply but also take the message to heart that did not change. He argued that I could not make him take something to heart."consistency on my part he did. And it was well worth the struggle. One thing he said was "when I realized how much effort and how important this was to you I felt differant" Part of the process of caring about our children is that we demonstrate what love is. To be there and to care teaches by example that these are important matters. I hope this helps. Also I required that I was the administrator for the computer that way use is in my control and by my permission. It is under my supervision and located where I can know what is going on at anytime.
