Dh removed the kids xbox 5 days ago (lack of respect & cheek from ds1 & 2, lack of commitment to exams ds1). For the past 4 days everything has been fine but today ds1 has really suffered from withdrawal symptoms. He's spent the day moping or curled up in front of where the xbox was. This evening he's kicked off demanding it's return, arguing with his dad then packing a bag and leaving. I'm hoping he'll be back soon when he's calmed down and realises it's pretty cold outside tonight. How do we resolve this though? I think they should get the xbox back with a few conditions - respectful behaviour, a timetabled revision plan thats adhered to, and an agreed limit of time played. Dh however does not want to give it back - ever. Any ideas on a compromise? What would you do?
