Kenisha's 6th Birthday Party
Jo: "The next day was a birthday party for Kenisha, who was having a Brave-themed party, and she invited all her friends from her kindergarten class."

[Kenisha's friends arrive]

Kenisha: "Stacie, Melody, Kelly, Lilly, Lucy, hi! Come on in!"

Jillian: "Hello girls! Welcome to my daughter's party! Help yourselves to some bear claws."

Jo: "But where was Rowan? He was supposed to be celebrating his little sister's birthday."

Observation
'Jo: "It was 11:30am and Rowan had just got home from his friend's house, where he was supposed to be studying, but the friend's mother told Jillian a different story."'

Friend's mother on Phone: "Those boys, Rowan and Francis were out smoking weed."

Jillian: "WHAT?!?"

'Jillian: "I couldn't believe what I heard. My son doing drugs."'

Jillian: "I feel like I've lost control of him? I don't know what to do."

'Jo: "When Mom confronted Rowan about it, boy did he lose it!"'

Jillian: "Rowan Garret Ikin!"

Rowan: "WHAT?!?"

'Jo: "Rowan was busted big time!"'

Jillian: "What's this I hear about you and Francis smoking pot?"

Rowan: "It wasn't us, mom. We were studying."

'Jo: "Then all of a sudden, Jillian got madder and madder."'

Jillian: "Don't you be lying to me, boy! Francis' mother called and told me that she saw you smoking dope!"

Rowan: "I DIDN'T (bleep)ING DO ANY OF THAT!!! STOP BEING SUCH A NAGGING HOUSEWIFE!"

Jillian: "Hey, you watch your mouth, boy!"

Rowan: "Shut your mouth, (bleep)!"

'Jo: "Jillian and Rowan argued for at least an hour."'

[Kenisha is in her bedroom having a tea party with her Barbie dolls when she hears shouting in another room]

'Kenisha: "I was in my room playing with my Barbie dolls when I heard mommy and Rowan arguing."'

Jo: "All right. I have seen and heard enough. Jillian, I will see you tomorrow morning, bright and early, for a parent meeting."

[Jo walks down the hallway and sees Kenisha's bedroom door cracked open]

Jo: "Hi."

Kenisha: "Hi. I could hear Rowan and mommy yelling about something. But I don't know what. It was pretty loud in there."

Parent Meeting
Jo: "Yesterday's observation was absolutely shocking. You and Rowan argued for two hours. TWO hours??"

Jillian: "I know. I feel like he's against me, and that he doesn't love me anymore."

Jo: "You've got to take charge. Otherwise, Rowan will be in jail."

Jillian: "He had been rebelling against me ever since my husband, Daniel, died in a motorcycle accident last year."

Jo: "Take charge Jillian. Not only for yourself, but for Rowan as well."

Jillian: "All right."

Jo: "I also spoke to Kenisha yesterday. She also told she is feeling left out due to you dealing with your son."

Lose What You Like Chart
Jo: "Today, I'm going to introduce the 'Lose What You Like Chart', Jillian."

'Jillian: "I think that chart sounds like a great idea. It sounds very effective and it should've been used and done if I had known about this a long time ago."'

Jo: "Look, Rowan. This is the 'Lose What You Like Chart'. If you break the rules, like sneaking out at night to smoke pot, talking (bleep) to me, or something like that, then you're going to lose whatever you like, such as hanging out with your friends, skateboarding, TV, your MP3 player, your cell phone, your XBOX 360, or your laptop computer..."

Rowan: "I'm 14 years-old. I don't need no (bleep) rules!"

Jillian: "Rowan, you better watch your language, otherwise I'm taking away your cell phone. Do you understand?"
