Jonathan is so funny. We left him with some friends tonight for their teenage daughter to babysit. As we were leaving, he started talking about wanting a Nintendo DS. I just shook my head since we have been down this road before. He isn't ready for one. So, he says, "maybe I can buy one with my own money." I said, "when you have some." I told the mother he owes us 200 dollars. Jonathan pops out with, "no, 201 dollars." Funny boy - it had to be accurate!
We are really trying to help him get this worked down to nothing. He needs to feel that he has succeeded at this. He likes to keep himself in the mode of having problems and issues to deal with. He likes his life to be negative. We are making him do chores and paying him well right now to get this down quickly. It has been up at this level for months and he keeps it up. Sad, isn't it?

Gosh I definitely understand that! My kiddo loves to create trouble for herself, self destructing all the time.
