[QUOTE="ML, post: 182897"] I feel your pain. It's about leverage to some extent. I would never ground or restrict my difficult child son (almost 10) from outdoors because it's like pulling teeth to get him there in the first place. Taking away computer priveleges is about all I have. I still think picking battles is the way to go. I don't worry too much about letting some things go. I figure the world is often inconsistent so I'm preparing him. For example I often go over the speed limit (not much but still) and most days I don't get the ticket. Still I know it's *wrong* and I know what the consequences would be. With some of these kids it would be impossible to take on every misdemeanor and saving the big consequences for the bigger stuff makes sense. I know how tiring it can be. I agree that lying is a big thing and losing biking time makes sense, especially as the summer is almost over. I think if it was just starting out it might be too strong (jmo). Hang in there!
