[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 377766"] I was wondering the same thing - I never heard of paying for your child to be in juvie?! I agree with every one else. You HAVE to be on the same page. My husband was always the strict one and I was the enabler. It never got us anywhere. I had to reach the end of my rope before we made any progress at all. Only then were we able to provide a united front that we were done with her ****. Only when it came from both of us, did it even begin to sink in at all. Always be honest with your son's PO. They are there to help the child and you. My difficult child's PO always backs us up 100% and enforces things we may have had a harder time with on our own (taking medications, looking for a job, etc). Recently I had the judge back me up on mandatory inpatient rehab if she should fail a drug test. They can help. Ask for help. My husband always threatens to leave, too. All that does is **** me off. If you leave, your difficult child has won. Do not let difficult child take the power over the house and all of your lives. Take that power back. I have to admit my jaw dropped over the things he has sold. Did you report this at all? I call my difficult child's PO over every little thing she does. She knows ALL. Your difficult child should have to find a way to repay you for those things. Whether it is monetary or community service of some kind around the house - again, the PO can enforce these things. Your difficult child is doing exactly as he pleases and why shouldn't he? You will just cover up the holes to protect him and his behavior. STOP covering for him and talk to your wife. Maybe show her this website...? [/QUOTE]
