[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 469509"] Sounds like Ant and my son could be good friends!! Ant sounds like he does better at dodging trouble than my son though. My difficult child has had a lot of the same attitude as Ant but when he ended up on his own out of the house, he got into trouble a bunch and last year spent a couple of weeks in jail. The one thing he learned from that is he doesn't want to spend time in jail. I think that has helped him a bit to see that the world is not as easy as he had it at home. LOL. So he has had a dose of reality......BUT now he is in rehab dual diagnosis place... and he still got defiant and tried to bend the rules. I think his therapist gave him a pretty strong dose of reality that this isn't going to work in your life, and if you continue doing this kind of thing in the world, they are going to get fed up and you will end up doing serious time in prison. So hopefully now that it is no longer mom and dad trying to enforce the rules but the world he will wake up and realize that his ODD behavior is not working for him. So Ant will eventually have to face real world consequences... I hope for his sake it is sooner rather than later. TL [/QUOTE]
