[QUOTE="KFld, post: 60167, member: 2442"] Wow do you sound like me and husband a few years back. My husband used to say all kinds of mean things to difficult child when he did something wrong and give him these outrageous punishments, which once we got into counseling we found most of the reasons he did those things was because he was so frustrated by feeling like he didn't have a say that he pretty much did it out of resentment and to get the point across that he was going to have a say, no matter how rediculous it was. Through counseling we both learned how to deal with situations without either of us being to lenient or to tough and my husband learned how to parent without humiliating difficult child. It's tough. It takes a lot of work. I remember it all too well and don't envy you and husband right now. [/QUOTE]
