[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 164740, member: 1233"] Adrianne, Have you used a timer for the 10 minutes? One he can see, or hear go off? We ended much of these battles a few years ago by buying a photographer's darkroom timer at a garage sale. it even glowed in the dark! I put it on the wall where I could jsut reach it and would set the time. It would count down, then give a loud, very loud, buzz. It ended the how much longers, seeing it be reset was not pleasant for a while, but it did get through that he spent 1 min, then 3 then 7 then the 10. So he spent21 imns instead of 10. He no longer could say we would forget when his time was up - boy was it loud, it couldn't be forgotten if the power went off (NO clue where that fear came up, but he did worrya bout this) because it had a backup battery AND glowed in the dark, and he couldn't argue with me - I told him to talk to the timer. Just a thought. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
