Tonight the boys worked hard.  It was obvious that Middle Boy felt guilty for the events of the last couple of days.  It was also obvious that Younger Boy does not.  He never does.

Middle Boy was trying to motivate Younger Boy to help out and he just didn't see why.  I listened while Middle Boy explained it over and over how they had both screwed up.  Younger Boy just doesn't care.  There is not a consequence in the world that he cares about...not one.  You can take everything away, doesn't care.  You can reward everyone else and not him...doesn't care.  Just a complete inability to care about consequences or show remorse.  It is hard to work on behavior with someone like that...even harder to live with them.

Prayers for a breakthrough.
