You are soo funny I did that to my ss7 on Friday. The after school program told me he wasnt following the rules or following instructions. Normally we do not have a problem with behavior at school but he got in trouble for the same thing two weeks ago. He was grounded from t.v and playing outside which is more like a punishment for SO and I lol. So obviously he didnt understand his punishment and decided he wanted to act up again. I told the lady that I would handle him. He starts to pout and he thinks he is getting is normal punishment. I told him he had to hold my hand all the way to the car and I will treat him like a baby since babies also cant and will not follow instructions. I picked him up and put him in the car and put on his seatbelt while his ss9 laughed at him. He was yelling why this is so embarrassing blah blah. I said exactly I am embarrassed also when I have to come to school and be told my child doesnt respect people thats what I think is embarrassing. We get to our apt complex and we have a couple of cool kids who live in it or so they think they are and they always have their crowds of friends around. So naturally I held my ss7 hand in front of them. I told him next I will go over and introduce him to those kids and make him tell them how he behaves at school. The teenagers would probably look at me like I am some weirdo but I dont care. We go inside and I made him write a paper on some Harry potter book. I hope this gets through to him because it does embarrass me when he doesnt behave and makes me want to tell people just in case you were wondering technically he isnt mine but I would never but doesnt mean I dont want to.

I do that with my ss7, he hates to be called a baby..but he acts like one. When he acts like a baby I treat him like one. Put him in his seat, don't let him close or open his own door, sometimes I even make him sit in the cart which he finds uberembaressing. It seems to work most of the time.

Good call. My sk's are older and I just try not to engage. I mostly just ignore them and say, when you can talk to me respectfully and apologize for this behavior maybe I will talk with you about whatever it is you are wanting, but in the real world when you act like that, people dont want to talk to you or give you things. My sd16 threw a fit on the phone calling me every name in the book. DH hung up on her and when she called back said we are not speaking to you until you apologize to her. We didnt talk to her for 3 months. She called and messaged on facebook a few times but every time she did the first thing I did was ask for an apology, to which she usually hung up or threw a fit. finally last week she called and when prompted for an apology she said said "Fine I am sorry. Even though I think its stupid that I cant talk to my dad and have to apologize... blah blah blah." TO be honest I didnt want to accept that apology but dh had hated not talking ot her for 3 months so I just shrugged and said apology accepted even though I think your apology was stupid. So far she has not spoken to me dissrepectfulyl again but we will see how long that lasts. Whenever she has been at our house I use the same ignore tactic, literally just tuning her out. If she had had an ipod and wanted me to give it to her and acted that way, I would have put it on and listened to it to drown her out lol.

Heh heh! Kudos! I have to laugh because all of VD and Brainiacs report cards at school note that: VD/Brainiac don't follow the rules; just wrote down anything they wanted and didn't follow instructions.

Do I see a PATTERN HERE??!! YES! Both the BEhemoth (BM) and GG (biodad) have raised their children FERAL! Their children are "special" and don't have to follow the same rules as everyone else!! :sick:
