[QUOTE="comatheart, post: 371674"] Thanks for the replies so far. Hehehe, Andy that was us that made our son to back to the store himself and purchase all of the items himself with the money he worked to earn. We too thought it was ingenious and the perfect learning experience but apparently it wasn't. -At least not for our difficult child. :-( So what do all of you do when your SO refuses to get on the same page? My husband is so angry and all of his decisions are being made in anger. He wanted to triple the price, then decided our difficult child didn't need to come out of his room except to eat, use the bathroom and work. (the room has been stripped to very little so basically he can just stare at the posters on the wall) Then decided difficult child wasn't allowed to speak without asking and he needed to address us by "Yes sir, Yes ma'am". Then decided he would wake him up at 6am when he went to work, put him outside with a jug of water and make him stay outside all day working in the yard. husband is all over the place, constantly adding onto the punishment, increasing it or otherwise. All the time I'm thinking he's just making this all worse for difficult child in that he's not going to learn anything from it except perhaps resentment towards US. husband says I am to weak or soft and don't want to punish him at all. As you can imagine this is causing major turmoil in our marriage and you better bet difficult child is picking up on that! [/QUOTE]
