Logic
Here is an excellent example of no logic. I did a load of laundry for Bear yesterday. I put them in the dryer before I left for class. I remember setting the dial for extra long so the jeans would be sure and be dry. This morning he says "I need to go down and get my clean laundry." Next thing I know he is screaming because his clothes are still wet. Every few minutes the spew of how stupid I am and that anyone knows to turn on the dryer is heard. I go down stairs and he opens his door and starts again. I see behind him all his clothes spread out on the floor. I asked why he didn't just turn the dryer on instead of spreading them on his floor. "They would never get dry in time."...........45 min in the dryer vs 45 min on his floor? I just turned and left. And yes, he will be doing his own laundry from here on out.

And Mom takes another verbal beating. Big Hugs!
Darn right he should do his own laundry from now on! Sorry that things seem to be sliding a bit. . . hang in there.
So familiar...I have one question. How do you handle the verbal assaults?
Dia por Dia,
If mine call anyone a name they have to write the name 100 times. If they are insulting me I generally turn and leave the room. I will not talk to them when they are talking with me that way. If I try it seems to escalate the behavior. Generally when I go back later they do say they are sorry for it. I believe in restitution so think of a chore for them to do to make it up to me.
