[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 182419, member: 1233"] If the phone calls are a problem, try giving him a certain number of times he can call during the day. Tell him that after he reaches his limit you will either not answer (keep the phone on vibrate so you don't hear it) or you will give a c ertain consequence (charge $1, give a chore or work for 10 mins for each call, or take away something - YOU decide what the consequence will be, don't let him pick which one - these are just some suggestions) and then follow through with the consequence when you get home. Make sure the calls are not putting your job in jeopardy. My cell phone can be set to ahve a different ring tone for each person, so maybe have 1 ring tone for the phone he uses, and a diff one for brother's phone. This way bro can call and get an answer if there is a problem and you can tune out difficult child's calls after his limit. Stick to your guns for however long you have taken things away. don't let him wear you down. [/QUOTE]
