[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 273164, member: 7371"] OK, I just went to pick difficult child up and he asked for money to go out to lunch with-friends. [B]Me:[/B] "No; lunch money is a privilege that you earn by being respectful." [B]difficult child:[/B] "I'm being respectful." [B]Me:[/B] "Yes, now that you want money. But you weren't respectful this morning." [B]difficult child:[/B] "I wasn't that bad." [B]Me:[/B] "Really?! :knockedout: You told me, 'You being alive in this house is plenty of reason to be rude!' So, no respect, no lunch money. You can eat at home or go with your friends, but I'm not giving you money." I dropped difficult child & friends off. He can buy food with his own money (or not) and then walk home. Thanks for sharing your strength, Warrior Moms. :happy: Hugs back to you, Vickie! ((())) [/QUOTE]
