[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 282595, member: 84"] Heather That's called giving them a heavy dose of reality. If they were to act like this in the real world, people would react the same way. There is nothing wrong with letting them know they've pushed you to the limit. I've done it many a time myself. If they want the ac cooler, tell easy child he gets to pay half the electric bill. Travis didn't think I was serious over his 2 hr shower/baths until I made him pay the water bill. I'm not too proud darn it. You run up a bill I don't have money to pay [B]you [/B]can pay it. Adulthood is a 2 way street. Nor do I blame you over the guitar lessons. Ungratful kids don't deserve such luxuries, most especially when the budget is stretched overtight as it is. I think the kids current behavior is forcing you into detachment. That's not necessarilly a bad thing. Hugs [/QUOTE]
