[QUOTE="Andy, post: 150585, member: 5096"] Actually, he choose to go to bed without supper. You offered it and his actions turned the offer down. Just like when I make supper and the kids refuse to eat because they don't like it. I am not going to make something else - they eat what is made for supper that night or wait until the next meal to eat. Mean mom for not putting up with the temper tantrum. :pouting: Actually NOT! You are a very good mom. You have great plans for the next time. One more thing to try when disciplining is setting a time limit - instead of "no supper tonight" which you felt too guilty about, try "No supper while you are behaving like this. When you can show me that you can eat politely, you can come down for supper." I had a coversation with a teacher today who knew that I was at tears over difficult child's recent behaviors (because I was) - She said, "But we are working through this together." So, I know that I am not alone in this and I know that it is a process for everyone. It is not just difficult child who is learning. My mom had a saying, "Once your kids are able to live with, they move out." It is going to be a very long how many years for that? [/QUOTE]
