[QUOTE="JKF, post: 576130, member: 12470"] I wanna run away!!!! ESP since this morning is a continuance of yesterday. He was asked to do 2 small chores by my husband last night and guess what? He didn't do them. His excuse - "I forgot". How could he forget? He literally had nothing else to do except two tiny chores and he "forgot"??? If I hear him say those words again I'm gonna snap! That's his excuse for EVERYTHING!! Soooo he's back on the couch right now. No activities or talking. He knows why he's in trouble and I think he knows that if he pushes even once he's going to end up with a worse punishment. He gets to take no part in special activities like Sunday breakfast bc he didn't earn it. I'm not wasting my time cooking him a big fancy meal when he can't take 5 minutes to do his chores. Nope - not happening. husband and I will enjoy our lovely pancakes, eggs and bacon and difficult child 2 (his new title!) can have a bowl of cereal and berries. If he wants to participate in things like special meals he will contribute to this house by doing what's asked of him. He hates missing out on special family activities (esp ones that include food!) so this definitely hits him where it hurts. Taking the games and tablet away had no effect at all but I can clearly tell that THIS really bothers him! And the best part - all of this is happening with no yelling from me or husband. We are being very calm and matter of fact and yet I think the point is getting across to difficult child 2 loud and clear!! [/QUOTE]
