Middle Boy's phone contract allows him to be disrespectful a maximum of three times per day.

This afternoon he hit four. Per the terms of the contract he loses his phone for 48 hours.

He was NOT happy. He stomped around the house. Swore at me and told me I was a jerk.

As a result he is also grounded. I will not be talked to that way.

I'm not sure Middle Boy will be able to handle the terms of the contract.

Prayers he will understand that this contract was created by him and he is accountable for his actions.
