[QUOTE="buddy, post: 577548, member: 12886"] Q is home and seems good. He said, I'm gonna try to earn four dollars for next week. I said, I would LOVE that! His food was all set out for him so he went to that and said thanks. HOPE IT LASTS!!! He found a medal that someone left at Chuck E Cheese (he took his own money and decided to play some games there.) Last week he found five dollars. He always asks the workers and they look around and check for the owners...but if not there they give it to him. They know him well, he is there often and he considers them "friends" so they often give him extra tickets etc. He got enough tickets to get one of those huge stuffed chuck e stuffed animals, it is actually a really nice animal, but in the end probably cost a fortune....of course Q does not get that concept. So, even though he had none of my money he did well again...FIGURES. See, I didn't take any money away, he simply has to earn it by not being aggressive to me and then he gets three to four dollars and of that half has to be used for a snack since he is out so long......I usually send a sandwich or veggies too. But to him, it is like I took money he is entitled to. it happens every time, this is nothing new.....if he does this, money is not earned. Thats why withholding things is not my primary mode of discipline. It simply does not really work. But he does get the idea of earning and on that end he does work to get things......it has to be pretty quick though. (except he is now getting the idea of a two week paycheck and that you have to do the job every day to get that amount.....I hope that pays off in the end) [/QUOTE]
