[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 527869, member: 1233"] Bunny, STOP THAT. Stop talking about yourself that way. You are NOT acting like a difficult child. You are giving an adult difficult child a MUCH NEEDED wakeup call. It will likely take more than 1 meal he hates, and I know you can get creative if you put your mind to it. Why not turn his whites pink or purple because you 'forgot'? And if he is allergic to cat hair, forget that and bring home some cat hair to put on his pillow. You husband will continue to not notice as long as you ALLOW this to continue. My husband did it for quite a while. He is FREAKING because I have not packed up the house. I will not either. I will pack SOME things, the ones I want. The rest? He was warned on the last 2 moves that his free rides were GONE. I asked him to pack his clothes and ONE closet he filled with sports stuff and computer junk and he refused. I had to do it at the last minute after I packed EVERYTHING else. He honestly remembers but doesn't think that I do. He tried to bully J into packing his stuff and she was told that if she did I would make her life a living Hades for the summer. So she is letting him deal with the stress and he is NOT allowed to take it out on her - he got that warning earlier. He really does NOT watn me to get ugly with him. He fears me just a little because he knows that he went too far with the last moves. So now? We will see if/what he loses due to his choices. Don't allow this to continue. This isn't like being late. This is ignoring something very serious to your son's entire future. Male difficult children esp need a strong male to pay attention and not tolerate the BS but our dhs want to be the good guy as long as we let them. It isn't fun, but they CAN learn to live up to their RESPONSIBILITIES as the fathers of difficult children if we are willing to make them really uncomfortable. [/QUOTE]
