[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 415932, member: 3419"] LOL! Well, husband never brought it up so I did. I recapped what had happened and asked difficult child what sort of punishment he thought he should have. [I don{t know, I can{t read your mind.[ )Sorry about the weird symbols, I{m on my daughter{s hard drive= It went downhill from there. However, difficult child did not raise his voice too much, and did continue the conversation in a halfway civilized manner. When he wouldn{t agree to write an apology note to me, I told him fine, I{ll take away your phone, TV, games etc for 3 hrs while Dad and I go to the bookstore. That way you can think about it in more depth. He got very agitated about that''no phone!! and said he{d do other chores to make up for it. I told him it was too late, and husband told him we could cut off his phone through the company, never mind the handset. He really got upset and started following me out the door. [What can I do_ What kind of chore_ All right, I{ll write the note! So much for remorse. I gave him a list of things to do, plus the note. Did not give him the TV-game cord back, though. In the car, husband said difficult child is never going to be remorseful. I said fine, but he can learn by rote memorization, the way sociopaths do. I{m not just going to give up. When we got home, difficult child had cleaned up the candy wrappers around the LR chair )I have no idea how he can surround himself w-such clutter=, had taken some of his clothes to the laundry room, put some of his clothes in drawers, and had written an apology note. I told him that tomorrow he has to wear a belt, and tonight he has to brush his teeth. I{ve got to get all I can out of this! )Especially if he doesn{t feel any remorse.= [/QUOTE]
