[QUOTE="Star*, post: 167988, member: 4964"] Susie, You know......if anyone even mentions "paying probation" to Dude about his other probation it sets him off. As a child with a sense of entitlement this punishment has "STUCK" and WILL STICK for 3 years. He's finally found something that makes him uncomfortable - that's working his butt off for a little money (cause you dont' make the big buck at 17) and then turning MOST of it over to the PROBATION MAN. THE LANGUAGE!!!!!! WOW! But - it's a punishment that has stuck and one has to wonder.......do long term punishments with teens make a difference or make them worse? Dude is complying because his BIGGEST fear is going back to jail and not being free -and he has that 15 year charge still ahead of him - and is trying which tells me that when he goes to court SOMEONE needs to listen that this is a kid with problems that is doing the best he can. As for fleas? You bet - I told him if she's covered after a frontline treament then the HOUSE and YARD need to be fogged and treated BEFORE she can think about coming back home. END OF CONVERSATION - I mean if you had a day care - WOULDN'T You want the CHILDREN to be in a flea free environment? And I was told that was being done while they were at the beach - so we shall see. [/QUOTE]
