[QUOTE="WSM, post: 248740, member: 5169"] Boy am I sorry. My handle stands for Wicked Stepmother. In 3 years I'm going to be standing in your shoes. What helped for us is nanny cams and web cams, I also have a personal recorder. Train a camera on the study table. If you can, some nanny cams can hook to the web and your hubby can look in from time to time. The cameras don't change the behavior, but now you have an accurate record of what happened, so there's no doubt between your husband and you. He will come up with other excuses tho. My cell phone has a recording function, as do lots of mini recorders. If you carry one in your pocket, you can switch it on whenever there seems to be an eruption, then there's no doubt who said what to whom. Again, it doesn't change the behavior, it just makes it a bit harder for them to come up with reasons why they are misbehaving. They still always do come up with the reasons however (and it's never their fault). I have to say I think it's very unfair of your husband to make you so responsible for his son. Does the high school have alternative programs for troubled kids? Almost all do. I know there's a stigma attached, but these programs have dealt with these problems before. [/QUOTE]
