[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 352288, member: 3444"] I suppose that's another tact we can take, too. I shall be collecting his Easter candy now and informing husband that he can no longer buy sugary sodas! And then I'll show difficult child 1 his portion of the dentist bill -- that's gonna be a huge shocker to him, even with insurance. And it will likely take him the rest of the year to earn the money to pay it off. Too flippin' bad! Part of his problem is this: He doesn't eat enough during the day because of his stims messing up his appetite. So he often gets up at night hungry and raids the kitchen when we're asleep. We never made a big deal about it, because for the past four years with his Crohn's he's always been playing catch-up with his growth/weight. So he eats and goes back to sleep... or eats in bed while he's half asleep. Bad, bad habit, I know. Combine this with his lack of motivation/concern/whatever when medications are out of his system at night, and thus the dental nightmare was born. [/QUOTE]
