[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 204081"] I TOTALLY agree. it gets me so angry that I am just not nice. Then I come to work all night and sit and think about him and feel so bad for the way I am thinking. HAH we don't even OWN a basket!! If we do we certainly have different ones! husband falls for him every time, every day, every minute! husband doesn't even NOTICE he is playing a game or talking to friends. He doesn't even realize how disrespectful difficult child is being. And difficult child doesn't even know he IS disrespectful because husband has never disciplined him in his life. If he does notice it seems perfectly ok with it. I am the one who is NOT ok with it. That is why I get yelled at from everyone. They both say I start everything. difficult child doesn't defy him...husband never tells him to stop. So difficult child just does as he pleases. I totally agree 100%. But he doesn't do anything. Not lately. Hard to reward him when he doesn't leave the house lately. i do take away the keyboard/mouse, xbox controllers, cell phone...ipod, etc. He earns them back one at a time. Wish I could really do something that would make a difference for him. Something he might work harder to achieve to gain the reward. Again - Total agreement here. Trouble is I work midnight to noon. On the days I work I am usually sleeping. Can't enforce anything when I sleep. As for husband - I keep chewing him out for not reading difficult child's homework. difficult child can just scribble and say he is done and husband says "ok". Yet I am the one who get the emails or calls. I am the one who has to go to school for the past 8 years! He really cannot do his work at school. He has 4 90-minute blocks. Four classes. So homework is just that..homework. Honors Biotechnology is ATLEAST 1.5 - 2 hours each night. Teacher says if they put off one night it will be 4 or more the next. it is a chapter a day. Plus questions, projects. And this is a daily thing. [/QUOTE]
