[QUOTE="LoneStar14, post: 145004, member: 4947"] Hey, I found the multi-quote option. This is so cool. You know, I'm a big proponent of getting help from the church and have great faith in God. People are multi-faceted. I'm not going to be able to help my difficult child unless we work his issues on all sides. However, I also know that unless you have a difficult child, you really can't understand how what works for PCs doesn't work for difficult children. I know!!! What works for my easy child doesn't work for my difficult child and they live under the same house and have the same parents. That's why I'm so thankful for you guys. It helps me so much every day. So here I go... [COLOR=purple]Yes, that's the issue. We also had him put the phone in my room so we wouldn't be tempted to use it after hours. Then we found out he would use one of the other phones in the house. We ended up unplugging all the phones in the house except for one. He couldn't hide anywhere to use it.[/COLOR] [COLOR=purple]Nature of the beast...the phones or the kids? :knockedout:[/COLOR] [COLOR=purple]My point exactly! If you can circumvent one house rule, pretty soon, all the rules can be circumvented.[/COLOR] [COLOR=purple]Do we have the same difficult child? Once I caught him using the house phone after midnight, he said it was a dumb rule and he wasn't going to follow it until we changed it. :knockedout: Besides, his friend didn't have a curfew, why should he? Okay, that didn't make any sense and his behavior was totally different than it was a year ago. Something else is going on. We talked with friend's parents. Ends up, they have the same curfew and didn't know friend was on phone that late. That meeting opened everyone's eyes to other issues going on. [/COLOR] Thanks everyone!! I've read and appreciated every post!!! [/QUOTE]
