[QUOTE="Star*, post: 119383, member: 4964"] HI and welcome, And yes, everyone needs to be on the same page - TIME for a FAMILY MEETING. Invite G'ma too. Make it Sunday night - cook dinner for everyone and then sit down, pass out the WRITTEN RULES and after everyone looks over the WRITTEN RULES - get them to sign them - no cheating to look favorable in the kids eyes and let them know this is serious. THen bring your son in - and tell HIM the rules and WHY there are rules, and WHY he can't play video games you banish (next time you banish it - trade it at the store or throw it away) if it's on the computer -BLOCK THAT SITE. And as far as McDonalds - well - your son has a mouth too. He could have said "Poppa - I can't have soda, can I have tea instead?" If you aren't in therapy -I highly recommend anyone who has a difficult child going . If you can't get hubby to go right away - fine; go yourself. You're going to need all the help you can get - And as far as fish pills (OMG I LOVED IT) Go to the drug store and buy a pill timer - or a pill case - and load it up on SUnday nights - and tell your son he's going to have to help you and Dad remember. When he goes to G'ma - she should have the pill cases - and PUT IT on THE RULES. The rules are a contract with YOUR RULES - get hubby to put some input in this too. There needs to be short term consequences and REWARDS - and then under NO circumstances - (mostly haha) do you forego a consequence - it makes a pattern out of do A and B will happen. And it takes YEARS to see the effects of it - but IT DOES WORK. Good luck Come here often - we're a good group Star [/QUOTE]
