[QUOTE="klmno, post: 473817, member: 3699"] Why is this such a hard concept for difficult children to get? I know we warrior parents here aren't raising our kids to have such a sense of entitlement....I swear I think it's all the years of that stupid behavior contract where the kid 'agrees' to act halfway civil and we'll bow down and jump thru hoops for them if/when they do, because of course, we are the parents and "that's our responsibility". PO and the woman from the re-entry program asked difficult child, separately, where he'd like to go live upon his release from Department of Juvenile Justice and he said home with me. They each told him that would be ok with them if I changed my mind and let him. Yeah, I guess it would....it costs no one but me any money otherwise. Nevermind that both of these people are supposedly in our lives to help difficult child not re-offend and "we need them in our lives because they know best about his best interest" and he seems to have a problem NOT re-offending when he's living with me because he thinks he can get by with murder. How much can I blame my son for saying this is what he wants when they are the supposed authoritarians and 'know what is in his best interest" and they are giving him some choice in this, given his previous offenses? Where does that sense of entitlement come from???? Sorry- I didn't mean to hijack your thread with my mini-vent! [/QUOTE]
