Hi, Just a followup on my previous post about my difficult child's PSP usage. husband & I spoke with difficult child that he would have to earn time on it, just like for the computer or TV. Then, that same day husband does nothing to help me get it away from difficult child and it's all on me. I tried to enforce the rules this weekend, but husband was all against me about that. husband is saying "It's summer" or "He's been at camp all day, with no computer, let him just have some time" which, resulted in difficult child not getting out of the bathroom, with PSP, not wanting to eat at the proper time, and not wanting to go to swim class, and then having a total out of control tantrum. This is the effect uncontrolled PSP (or computer/tv) usage has on difficult child. husband is not supporting the rules we set up and talked with difficult child about (rules set with help of counselor). After tantrum and throwing things, & cursing, difficult child is grounded from PSP. **I feel I must take it to work and keep it there, and that difficult child could have it for trips only. It is in my car right now. Am I being too harsh? Please, any advice or kudos is appreciated. Thanks!
