I'm not sure what has gotten into #1 this afternoon, but his behavior has left a lot to be desired. When asked to do his homework, he barely complied then refused to do any more. When asked to clean his room or do some chores, he waited until I was cooking dinner, then snuck his game-boy (of which he is grounded from until February) and played it until Hubby caught him after he arrived home.
Needless to say, he is more grounded. He won't be watching the Two Towers with the rest of the family tonight, and he will be going with Hubby to work tomorrow so he can dedicate his whole day to homework without the distractions of being at home.
I'm so frustrated with him right now that it is good that Hubby dished out the punishment. I would have been much more severe. Duct tape would have factored strongly in my decisions.
