[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 427939, member: 1514"] We couldnt have sat down with our son and had a problem solving session for anything in the world. He would have thought we had lost our marbles. He would have taken that as one great excuse to manipulate us and whatever lame brained professional told us to try it. Carrots and sticks didnt even work on him, only the stick did. He could never see the worth in working towards a long term goal. My son only respects consequences for his actions and it took severe consequences. Ones I wasnt able to hand out. It took the real world stepping in to tell him that mom wasnt an idiot who had told him things and that he would get in trouble. It was not easy for me to stand my ground and press charges on my son but it was the right thing to do. I couldnt collaborate with him and/or process the situation anymore. That would be insane.
