[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 184008, member: 3419"] Boy, does that sound familiar! One of the good things about my difficult child being at camp for an entire mo. was that when there was the occasional oddity, I knew immediately that difficult child didn't do it because he wasn't there. It is a pervasive thought pattern, to blame them, but hey, it's the boy who cried wolf and it's completely understandable. I don't see where you drive him to do that, especially if he's got an allowance and/or can already earn $ at home somehow. You could practice budgeting with-him and praise him for wise choices. That way you catch him doing something good. My difficult child is just barely getting out of this stage ... [/QUOTE]
