[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 196219, member: 3626"] Let's see -- can't have my way, won't wait, damage something to get my way, then cry about it. Yup, sounds familiar. I learned to ignore the crying -- it wasn't real anyway. She cared, but not very much. She did pay for anything she damaged and it wasn't at $1 or $2 at a time. I would have to pay for it immediately, so did she. If she couldn't, I had a garage sale of her stuff. The contract is a lovely idea but what are you going to do if he doesn't follow it? Can you really kick him out? Is that in you and husband? It took me a long time to learn this lesson but if I ultimately couldn't do what I threatened, it was meaningless. One suggestion, make sure he actively participates in the therapy. It really is easy for some of our kids to go in and either play head games on the therapist or just sit there for the entire session. So, be sure and make it a requirement that he actively and honestly participate in the therapy. [/QUOTE]
