[QUOTE="klmno, post: 196947, member: 3699"] Believe me- I understand. My son is 13 and I still find myself getting caught in that sometimes. It was only this weekend that I dare start saying- point blank- "you have been trying to mainpulate me and it's not going to work- period". I know the kids have their issues, but I figure that they still need to know where the line of what is acceptable is located. Know what I mean?? Don't beat yourself up- the main thing is that when he keopt pushing it, you didn't let that work. You think you have a headache tonight? What kind of headache would you have if you'd let this tactic get him what he wanted? (which really- it sounds to me like he was tired and only wanted to instigate something anyway). You did fine- I don't think he needed candy- maybe he gets candy next time it's a good day for him. [/QUOTE]
