Well the taking responsibility ish is the odd, there's not much we can.do about it, ive watched my son on a baby monitor walk over push my 3 year old, run away, then run back to her to comfort her,
Even after i asked him over and over to tell me what happened he lied, and not in a way i could usually tell, i finally told him i seen what happened and he still lied, it hurt me but i had to leave him alone, till hours later he finally admitted, he was already grounded and his TV was out of the room but i know he's my son i have to trust him sometimes, an when trust is broken he suffers for it,

My daughter has been diagnosis with ADHD and ODD for 4 years, she is medicated. Because she was my first I set up ground rules that my Step Son and Youngist daughter also follows, thy are rewarded for good behavior and punished for bad. I believe in action and consequence so they all know exactly were they stand with SO and I. I'm not a push over, That's one thing I have never been acused off so it's not a cause of spoilt child, or over protected child..

This I can relate to buy my daughter has done more severe things that has had her removed from the room they shared. I tell my daughter, becuse she does understand, that she is chipping away at my trust and I want to trust her a 100% but she needs to meet me half way.

But we are still dealing with children... I can tell my son till I'm blue in the face I need him to try and be better, try and do better, be nicer today than yesterday, and it just won't matter, he has it in him to just flip, everyday when I drop him off I kiss him and tell him same thing,
*todays a new day, let's try and be better all day, every day*
Somedays he does and other days, not so much, but I won't just take everything comes out of his mouth as a boldface lie, few months ago, he was being drama all week at school, something happened with his shoe, and his teacher sent him to office, the lady called me and made it sound like he was having his meltdowns, I flipped, his dad went to get him we let it rain on him he was crying and basically gave up just sat there while I cried and his dad yelled till I noticed dean wasn't fighting back like he usually does when he's lying, I called teacher, pretty much, the secratary was tired of deans smurf all week he was in office complaining about something, made it sound worse than what it was, dean was telling the truth, he got a taste of his own medicine, but it wasn't his fault, I will never forget his face he wouldn't even look at me, he knew I had given up on him that time I let my frustration from days before get to me, and that time he didn't deserve it...
So now unless I see it or get full story I really have to shake off what he's done in past...
