[QUOTE="heavenhelpme, post: 69377, member: 3987"] I feel your frustration. I have always tried to get my difficult child to focus on the good points of a situation, instead he always complains about what he didn't get or what didn't happen. He is very materialistic as well and we are also considering having him do some community service at the local homeless shelter/soup kitchen. While I'm trying to be hopeful about its impact on him..a big part of me knows it will probably do very little because he lacks empathy or sympathy for others. But the optimistic side of me says go for the community service...it can't make the situation any worse and at some point something has to get through to our difficult children...right??? [/QUOTE]
