[QUOTE="klmno, post: 163016, member: 3699"] I'm pretty harsh in situations like this. I wouldn't have let mine go to the party- if it embaressed HIM to tell a van full of people that at the last min., then maybe he will remember not to say what he can do and will do without getting permission first. He might have gotten upset and refused to go to the game (ok, probably would have refused) to go to the game- like that would be punishing me- but I would have left it up to him to explain to the coach and team why he wasn't there. I have had kids show up at my door because difficult child had invited them when we already had plans- and he knew it. I could have changed the plans, but I didn't. I sent the kids home. Later, when difficult child asked them to come over, they growl at him a little then asked if he asked his mom first. Now, maybe I am too harsh in this area, I'm not sure. I just figure I dealt with it and then it is done and we move on. No extended punishments for either of us to worry about. PS- difficult child and I have been snapping at each other all day- we were out running errands. The heat is definitely having an impact on everyone here right now. [/QUOTE]
