You're most welcome. I'm the second youngest of 6 (baby daughter) and born 9yrs after my predeccesor. So yes, I definitly can imagine the extent of babying
And yes, the stakes are higher.
Think of it this way though:
If he was 10 and said he likes junk food and from now on, no more healthy food....
Would you take notice of his "like" and feed him junk food as per his request?
I sure do hope not
My point?
what has to be done, has to be done, regardless of his likes.
And please do call the cops if the
need arises, because all your refusal teaches him, is that there are no consequences for his actions and that mother is a pushover.
Tough love is a neccessary evil sometimes
