Kathy, I believe that you are right about Chris, though he fights you, appreciates having parents who stand firm and loves him no matter what. I remember Dr. James Dobson saying of the self-willed child, "they walk about like night policemen, checking the doors but hoping they don't open". Chris is testing you two and hoping that you don't fail the test. He is blessed by your and Greg's vigilance. The devil hates this situation! God loves your faithfulness to Him and to Chris. Keep it up, Mom! Ned
