[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- we won’t miss the birthday, the kid doesn’t have a lot of friends and really likes my son. Honestly, it’s more of a punishment to make him go. Maybe I should ask if he can stay for longer?!

He doesn’t get allowance so that’s out.

He has been increasingly defiant as summer has progressing.

He’s an alpha child and is always trying to lead the pack, including me his mother. I feel that this is also about teaching respect for women as he often feels that his way is the right way and argues with me (more then his father) when I tell him to do something. [/quote]

I was 6 when I was invited to a birthday party for a classmate who liked Nancy Drew books, and asked her how she could read such long books. She told me she was take a flashlight to bed and read (she also, by the age of 13, was routinely taking the car keys and driving herself places). My gift was a Nancy Drew book. I had a Hershey bar too, can't recall if it was for her or for me, but I read the whole book in bed that night and got chocolate smears all over. I don't recall any punishment.

What make the biggest impact on me anytime with my parents was when they sat me down and had a serious talk. Worked every time. Punishments did not. [/quote]
