[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 461402"] Another illuminating conversation about difficult child land. I never really saw the correlation until now...I can't tell you how many times I have tried to explain (sometimes more calmly than others) that even if the the results of [I]YOUR ACTIONS[/I] were not [I]INTENDED; [/I][B]THOSE RESULTS ARE STILL YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!! [/B]Juggling too many milk jugs = broken spilled milk (not my fault) - dumb choice, bad results, your responsibility to clean up & replace Group project with slackers equaled a D+ in economics for all (not my fault) - your class, your project, your grade. Live and learn UNINTENDED IS NOT A PASS FOR IRRESPONSIBLE Remember my illuminating comment above? I just realized that -while I have had this conversation occasionally with each of my kids (and my H too) - I've had it over and over and over again with difficult child. Had it A LOT with him when he went off track in 2008, resurfaced again over the summer. DING DING DING [/QUOTE]
