[QUOTE="So Tired, post: 181857, member: 4772"] I have been fighting this same battle. I think what the others have said really sums it up. You have the right to say what will and will not be accepted in your home. If you let them, difficult children will talk you 'round in circles -- just state the rules. Write them down if necessary and post them. Let him know there will be consequences and then follow through... I know this all sounds good in theory, but in practice difficult children have a way of wheedling out of things. Keep at it till he knows you are serious (and BE serious!) He will know if you are bluffing! I wish I could send this advice to the "me" of 2 years ago. (That is how long it took me to figure it out!) Keep strong. We are all behind you! [/QUOTE]
