[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 141348, member: 1835"] I think a large part of the reason why this is more of an issue in our family is that our son has always needed strong social cues to get his attention. For instance, even as far back as when he was a toddler, a mildly annoyed face (while he was chasing the kitty around the house) and a moderate "no, no" (that would be me...) wasn't enough to register but an exaggeratedly-concerned face accompanied by a loud voice (that would be my husband) would stop him in his tracks. I believe the same is true now that hes 18, and I think, since my husband has been the disciplinarian our sons entire life, it really threw him when that suddenly stopped and I took over. I think he felt, in some ways, that his dad didn't really care about him any more. [/QUOTE]
