[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 91834, member: 84"] I never did a whole lot of referring with the kids. This meant that they had to work it out amongst themselves. Usually I just tried to keep the violence/disrespect out of the equation. Travis has major issues with personal boundries. Yes, he's improved with age, but those issues have never gone away completely. If he really wants something and it's in the house, it doesn't matter who it belongs to, he'll help himself. Drives all of us nuts. Used to be a major hang up between him and his sisters. Then Nichole and easy child put their heads together and started snitching his things. Not because they wanted it, but to give him a dose of his own medicine. I stayed out of it. It made a huge difference. But still didn't get the message completely thru. So his sibs know that if you want to keep something special, lock it up or keep it elsewhere. Now that they're older they FINALLY understand he doesn't do it to be mean or anything. He sees it as just "using" the item and can't seem to get what all the fuss is about. This is just part of who Travis is. Period. Of course there are alot of other issues too. But I think it's also just shrugged off now as just the way that person is. easy child and I were talking about this sort of thing as far as Nichole is concerned too. I just remember doing alot of the everyone has both good things and bad things about them. Everyone. It is who makes us who we are. But honestly.....I think my kids worked it out for themselves, and found their own acceptance. [/QUOTE]
