[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 644177, member: 18366"] Um, OK he is treating his family like crap and you spend $400 on him? See anything wrong with that picture - you are meeting his needs and he is not meeting any of your expectations. It is called sending a double message and he hears the one he wants to hear: I get what I want and mom can't do anything about that! Remind yourself often that your daughter deserves extra care and attention. Sometimes a parent can get so wrapped up and emotionally invested in what the difficult child is doing that they "forget" to give the positive, re-enforcing good attention to the non-difficult child child. Ditto above: You knew he was not doing what he was suppose to do at school and still gave him the $400 worth of goodies he wanted? Although it is too late now it truly, really would have been OK for you to taken back some if not all of what you had purchased for him to send him a message. I am only saying this because you need to see that you are not giving clear & consistent messages to your son. [/QUOTE]
