[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 383938, member: 4040"] Hugs, Jan. Sounds similar to Miss KT at that age...and even though my (enabler) mother hated it, I used to tell Miss KT that if she didn't like the rules, she could go live somewhere else. Having a police officer visit and talk to your son is a great idea; it made a HUGE impression on Miss KT. We also took away the important stuff, didn't buy snack stuff she liked, refused to take her anywhere, and made her live with the results of her actions (which is why she still has no bedroom door, and there are still holes in her bedroom walls). I can't even count the number of times I told Miss KT "you are NOT the boss, you are NOT in charge, you are a child, you do NOT give orders, and you do what I say you do...and if you don't like the rules in this house, go live with your father, or Nana, or Grandma." We also got the "you hate me, everybody hates me" stuff, and the refusal on jacket wearing, etc. So freeze then...not my problem...but I will not bring a jacket to school for you. Logical consequences. More hugs. It's so hard, and then our difficult children make it harder than it has to be. [/QUOTE]
