[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 293477, member: 6546"] Star-- Thanks so much for your reply and some good advice.... It is a good idea to lock the bedroom doors during chores--I had not thought of that, but it makes perfect sense. Good idea! We have been gradually adding hardware to this house as we go. The worst part is, this is a rental!! When we move out, we are going to owe so much money to put things back the way they were it's not even funny. And yes, it looks like locking deadbolts is the next bit of hardware we will have to install.... aarrgghh! We are still fighting the telling/not telling battle--usually because DS has to decide who's punishment is worse for telling/not telling....and unfortunately, he is pretty confident that his parents won't [I]actually[/I] kill him--whereas his sister might. So that is a tough one right now... I do like the time limits for chores. We can certainly implement that. I LOVE the idea of sending difficult child off to Auntie Star's Boot Camp. Do I have to drive her over, or can I just put foot to rear end and give it a good hard kick? (One of these days...!!!) husband is feeling better--thank goodness! He has been visiting the chiropractor and that is helping immensely... As for myself...? I am currently going for the "hold-it-togther until stroke" option... This is primarily because husband and I still do not have any health insurance for ourselves and we already have way too many medical bills outstanding that we cannot yet pay off (and now we've just added dog surgery and chiropractic visits to that list). Hopefully, God has something good in store for us...SOON! --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
