[QUOTE="LadyM, post: 337150"] Things have been going well with difficult child. husband and I had a talk with him today about breaking things in the house and it went very well in my opinion. Instead of the usual arguing with him, I took several other approaches, mostly from the approach of "you're a young man now and you want us to treat you like one, this is what you can do to achieve that..." and "we're a team and all of us have to work together to keep our home looking nice, you're a part of the team". He actually came out of it apologetic for breaking things up and promising to do his part. I'm sure it's going to take a lot more reinforcement to see this through, but it's a nice start. [/QUOTE]
