[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 714155, member: 13303"] Unfortunately, avoiding confrontation is only going to ensure your son continues to do exactly what he's been doing. "Positive reinforcement" will not work with a child like him. He doesn't have hurt feelings, he has a strong will he intends to enforce. He needs to be stopped and it doesn't seem that anyone in your household is willing or able to stop him. I think that your son probably did steal your D's phone. Proving it might be more difficult. You may wish to install nanny cams so you have evidence of what is going on. Alternatively your D may need her own safe, possibly even a lock on her door. I am sorry your husband isn't willing to see the situation more realistically and that the two of you aren't on the same page. I've been in this situation with my wife, too. It's very difficult. I hope the two of you can communicate well and work through this. Both of you will have to back up whatever "the plan" ends up becoming. You won't love this behavior out of your son. Structure, consequences and limits are much more likely to be effective. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
