[QUOTE="Andy, post: 202230, member: 5096"] Join some of us in striking against our rude children. difficult child 2 can be civilized. If he NEEDS something, he better appreciate the source. He doesn't have the right to demand anything of you. It is your choice to take on that responsibility and he better learn that you do it out of love, not because he decides. The "Nothing from me until you can ask respectfully" is o.k. to implement. If he gets furious, he can not physically hurt you. He will need to work on his anger management in order to get any extras. Same with difficult child II. Still have to provide his basic needs for survival but that is it. He also needs to appreciate what you do for him. As with my rude 18 yr old daughter, nothing is ever good enough for her so I have stopped trying. I went on strike with her and it actually seems to be working. She has become so rude that I know it will take time to stop her behavior but it is getting better. We are on day 8 of her not using bad language (after several start and stops of the month). She has to go one month. I didn't want to say one week because that is easy and by one month it should be more of a habit? STRIKE FORCE ARISE! [/QUOTE]
