[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 13026, member: 1835"] OTE, thankfully, we don't have to deal with most of what you've had to with your son's placements. They really provide everything to the kids so they don't need money. If we do give him money for extras, it goes right into his account. Unless the program coordinator feels that he has earned it, he doesn't get the money or a shopping trip. Same with trips to the grocery store for snacks. And, if they do get money for snacks, the snacks are locked up and also have to be earned. They also provide the paper and stamps for letters. Even the presents we bought our son at Christmas, except for clothing and such, are put away and have to be earned. The same for their CD and DVD players. Also, no one is allowed to have money in their room, so selling thing doesn't get them anything. As far as phone calls, every phone number has to be approved--they actually call the number and check out who answers--and, again, they have to earn phone time. So, things are pretty tight there. And you're right--he shouldn't be ranting and raving at me, and I shouldn't put up with it. Thus, my request the other night that he NOT call me if he can't be pleasant. It's been four nights now since he has called, so I guess we're having a "stand-off." [/QUOTE]
